Notes

Wisconsin in-rem tax-deed county. Chippewa County (Chippewa Falls) sells county-owned tax deed lands by sealed bid / offer-to-purchase through Planning & Zoning — not a pure live auction floor. Official page: chippewacountywi.gov/379/Tax-Deed-Lands. Sealed bids with Offer to Purchase form and deposit go to Planning & Zoning, Room 009, 711 N Bridge St., Chippewa Falls, by noon the day before a scheduled Planning & Zoning Committee meeting. Contact Douglas Clary / Planning & Zoning at 715-726-7941. Separate from Thursday mortgage-style Sheriff sales. In-rem judgment is the main clearing step before county deed sale.

Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 1 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — 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. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
