Will you inherit back taxes on a property in Wisconsin?
It depends entirely on which kind of sale you are looking at, and the two are easy to mix up. Government REO (HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, GSA, CWS) conveys with clear, insurable title and the seller settles past-due property taxes at closing. County tax sales (tax-defaulted, sheriff, judicial) are the opposite: the buyer can inherit senior liens, face a redemption period, and get title that is not insurable without a quiet-title action. Every listing on this page is the first kind.
For the tax-sale side, Wisconsin is a tax deed state. The county sells the property itself. You take ownership at the sale, subject to whatever the sale did not wipe out. There is no statutory redemption period after the sale. Title here usually needs a quiet-title action before it is insurable or resellable.
We do not estimate what a specific property owes. Lien and back-tax amounts live in county records and only a title search returns the real number, so any figure produced without one is a guess you should not bid against.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How many HUD homes are for sale in Wisconsin?

Any agent whose brokerage holds a HUD NAID number can place the bid - you can't bid directly. During the first 15-30 days (the Exclusive Listing Period), only owner-occupants and nonprofits can bid; after that, investors can too.
- Are HUD homes in Wisconsin cheaper than market value?
- HUD homes in Wisconsin are often priced below comparable listings, with the biggest discounts during the extended (investor) bidding period. They're sold as-is, though - HUD does no repairs - so always inspect the property and factor repair costs into your offer.
- Do I inherit back taxes or liens on a HUD home in Wisconsin?
- No. A HUD home is REO, not a tax sale: it conveys with clear, insurable title, HUD settles past-due property taxes at closing, and there is no redemption period. That risk belongs to county tax sales instead, and Wisconsin is a tax deed state. The county sells the property itself. You take ownership at the sale, subject to whatever the sale did not wipe out. There is no statutory redemption period after such a sale. Title here usually needs a quiet-title action before it is insurable or resellable. None of that applies to a HUD purchase.
