Notes
Wisconsin does not sell investor tax-lien certificates for private bidding in the Illinois/Arizona sense. Grant County Treasurer acquires, manages, and sells tax-deeded lands after in-rem foreclosure (Wis. Stat. ch. 75). Disposition is by county sale of tax-deeded real estate (sealed bid, listing, or Wisconsin Surplus-style auction when inventory posts) — not a monthly courthouse certificate sale.

Wis. Stat. § 70.32(1) requires real property to be valued at the full value which could ordinarily be obtained at private sale, and § 70.05(5)(b) requires each taxation district to assess at full value at least once in every 5-year period. The Department of Revenue computes the actual assessed-to-full-value ratio for every district annually under § 70.05(5)(c) and notifies districts that drift more than 10% off over four years.
