Bidding Method: Bid up

Tax Sale Overview:


If Milwaukee county, Wisconsin is unable to collect real estate property taxes they are also unable to provide important government services like police protection, public schooling and medical services.

Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for Milwaukee county, Wisconsin.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of Milwaukee county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Milwaukee county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Milwaukee county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.

To solve this problem Milwaukee county, Wisconsin allows investors to pay off these taxes. In exchange the investor receives the Milwaukee county, Wisconsin lien for taxes. A tax lien is simply a claim for delinquent taxes.

Why would investors do this?

Well, depending on Wisconsin laws and competition, savvy Milwaukee county tax sale investors can realize high-yielding returns with Wisconsin tax lien certificates and/or purchase real estate for a fraction of its true market value with Wisconsin tax deeds.
