Notes

Wisconsin in-rem tax foreclosure / tax-deed county. Sheboygan County sells tax-foreclosed property through the Treasurer when inventory exists. As of research, county stated no properties in inventory and did not anticipate a sale until spring 2027 — format (auction vs. fair-market listing) not specified online while inventory is empty. Contact Treasurer directly and monitor the Tax Foreclosed Property for Sale page. Wisconsin foreclosure judgment is the primary title-clearing step; no post-foreclosure statutory redemption once the county has title.

Auction logistics

Format

Varies — confirm with Treasurer when inventory is offered (auction and/or listed sale)

Frequency

As inventory becomes available; no sale expected before spring 2027 per mid-2026 county statement

Deposit rules

Confirm deposit/earnest money, payment form, and bidder requirements with the Treasurer when a sale is announced. County may use fair-market listing rather than pure public auction depending on parcel.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale
In-rem foreclosure is intended to convey clear title subject to federal liens and sale-specific exceptions. Special assessments may be handled separately — verify parcel-by-parcel.
Quiet title
Judgment of foreclosure is the main clearing step; quiet title may still be used for residual defects or insurer comfort.

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.
