Frequently asked questions about tax foreclosed property: Page 1 of 1
Q: Who is responsible for the mortgages, liens, judgements or taxes on the tax foreclosed properties?
A: Oneida County uses Wis. Statute 75.521 Foreclosure of tax liens by action in rem. The County Treasurer contracts
with a Title Company to search property ownership, title, mortgages and Federal, State and Municipal liens. These entities
notified of the impending foreclosure. Other liens/judgements against the Landowner not required for searched. If entities
do not take measures to protect their respective interest prior to the court date, the Court forecloses out the interest, the
entity may have against the Property and title to the property awarded to the County. The County pays the back taxes and
the new Landowner is not responsible for back taxes, mortgages, liens/judgements, special assessments etc. If interested
in a property, you may want to contact a title company in advance of submitting a bid with any questions about insuring title
to the property. The County uses various Title Companies and can provide you with the name of the Title Company that
did the County search for a particular property.
Q: Who is responsible for paying the current year’s real estate taxes?
A: If the County is the owner of the property as of January 1
st
of the taxing year, the property will be exempt in that year
and no taxes will be due on the property. If there are taxes due for the year in which the County sells the property, the
County pays the real estate tax bill.
Q: Can I have the property inspected by licensed plumbers, carpenters, septic etc.?
A: Possibly, however inspection done at your cost. The inspectors or contractors must sign the waiver of liability form,
have insurances required by the County and the inspector or contractor must restore the property to the condition the
property existed prior to the inspection. It should be noted that most buildings the County forecloses on would not pass
inspections required by lending institutions today and that utilities are usually disconnected so you could not test water,
furnace etc. You are purchasing the property in ‘AS IS CONDITION’.
Q: What does Preference to adjoining owner mean?
A: The properties with this designation usually mean the parcel may be a very small remnant or an irregular parcel that
likely would be of best use to an adjoining landowner. In most cases the parcels are landlocked, cannot be built on and
have restrictions placed on the parcel. In order to minimize land use issues, the Committee would likely recommend sale
only to an adjoining landowner.
Q: What is preferred payment method if awarded the property?
A. If you purchase a property with buildings and you want the keys the same day you make payment, the payment must
be cash, a cashier’s or a bank check; otherwise the County has to wait until a personal check has cleared before recording
the deed and giving you the keys. If the property is vacant, you can pay by cash, a cashier’s or a bank check and the deed
recorded usually within 1 day. If payment is with a personal check, the deed may not be recorded until the check has cleared.
Checks for the $30 recording fee can be by personal check.
Q: What if I am waiting on a loan to purchase the property and it would take more than the 60 days to complete
the sale?
A: The successful bidder will have 60 days from the date of County Board approval to complete payment. If the highest
bidder fails to complete an approved sale within the 60 days, the bid guarantee forfeited to Oneida County and the County
would then work with the second highest bidder or offer again for sale. As mentioned above, most of the properties with
buildings on them would not pass inspections, so have your payment plans in place.
Q: What happens if the properties do not sell?
A: The Land Records Committee reviews the unsold properties and offers them again but may adjust the minimum bid.
Sales usually held twice a year.
Q: What is a Wisconsin Real Estate Transfer Return Receipt and what information is need.
A: This is a form required by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue completed with any real estate transfer. The names,
address and social security number of all people named on the deed needs to be listed. If you prefer not to provide your
social security number to the County, the County will enter 9999999 and the Department will contact you for that information
later. Your social security number is not required when submitting your bid. If a property deeded to a Corporation etc., the
FEIN is needed.
