Notes
Wisconsin in-rem tax deed county. Wood County takes tax deeds on long-delinquent parcels and sells tax-deeded property through the County Board Executive Committee — sealed/over-the-counter offers rather than a large retail online auction. Instructions and sale forms on Treasurer Tax Deed Property Sales page; $30 recording fee at sale; cash, cashier’s check, or money order. Committee may accept or reject any offer; delinquent Wood County taxpayers may be barred. Marshfield / Wisconsin Rapids market.

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.
