  • Parent legal framework: wisconsin
  • FIPS: 55009
  • Central addresses: Brown County offices are split across downtown Green Bay buildings — the Treasurer and Register of Deeds at the courthouse complex, 305 E.

C1. Local Tax Sale

Conducts own sale? Yes. As in every Wisconsin county, there is no third-party investor lien-certificate auction — the annual tax certificate runs to the county and is non-assignable (Wis. Stat. 74.57; see wisconsin §1). The Brown County Treasurer obtains fee title to severely delinquent parcels through the county tax-foreclosure process and then resells the tax-deeded land. The Treasurer’s office “handles transactions affecting delinquent taxes and foreclosures.” Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/ (retrieved 2026-06-02). For the statewide tax-deed / in rem framework (Wis. Stat. 74.57, 75.521, 75.07/75.12/75.14, 75.69), see wisconsin §1 and §5.

Platform / vendor: WisconsinSurplus.com (Wisconsin Surplus Online Auction, operated by Wisconsin Surplus Auction, Inc.). Brown County lists tax-delinquent parcels as numbered timed auctions at https://bid.wisconsinsurplus.com. Confirmed prior Brown listing: Auction 22-611, “Brown County, Wisconsin – Tax Delinquent Real Estate” (started July 1, 2022 6:00 AM CST, ended July 22, 2022 10:00 AM CST). Brown County also uses GovDeals for surplus equipment/personal property (not real estate). Source: https://bid.wisconsinsurplus.com/Public/Auction/CatalogPreview?auctionId=0nYpfhzHGuZrLPgNf/v1sQ== (retrieved 2026-06-02); county surplus-platform note at https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/administration/purchasing/for-saleauction/ (retrieved 2026-06-02).

Sale format / terms (per the 22-611 WisconsinSurplus listing):

  • Online timed auction; the high bid is subject to seller (county) confirmation — the 22-611 listing fixed confirmation at the July 28, 2022 Administration Committee meeting.
  • Conveyance by quit claim deed, with no title insurance or abstract provided by the county.
  • Deed Transfer Fee: $30 per property (Wisconsin real-estate transfer fee under Wis. Stat. 77.22), added to the buyer’s total.
  • Payment deadline: balance due by “5pm on August 5, 2022 or 5 Business Days after seller confirmation meeting” (the later of the two on that listing).
  • All parcels sold “AS IS, HOW IS, WHERE IS”; bidders responsible for determining condition and defects before bidding.
  • Buyer’s fee: WisconsinSurplus applies a buyer’s-fee chart that scales by final bid amount; the exact percentage was not stated on the retrieved 22-611 preview. needs_verification — current Brown County buyer’s-fee percentage and any flat registration deposit on a live auction (no open Brown auction on the platform as of 2026-06-02).
  • Source: https://bid.wisconsinsurplus.com/Public/Auction/CatalogPreview?auctionId=0nYpfhzHGuZrLPgNf/v1sQ== (retrieved 2026-06-02).

Sale calendar: No fixed statutory cadence — Brown County schedules a tax-delinquent real-estate auction on WisconsinSurplus once it has accumulated foreclosed parcels to resell (the confirmed 22-611 auction ran July 2022, with high-bid confirmation at the county Administration Committee). Wis. Stat. 75.69 requires the county to advertise resale of acquired tax-deed land within the statutory window (240 days, reducing to 180 days in 2026 — see wisconsin §1). needs_verification — Brown County’s actual cadence and the next known sale date (no open Brown auction on the platform as of 2026-06-02).

Registration: Bidders create a free account at https://bid.wisconsinsurplus.com to bid. needs_verification — whether Brown requires any per-auction pre-qualification or deposit beyond the standard WisconsinSurplus account.

Bidder requirements: Standard WisconsinSurplus terms; county confirmation of the high bid by the Administration Committee. Property and sale questions are directed to the Brown County Treasurer’s Office, (920) 448-4074 / bc_treasurer@browncountywi.gov.

Delinquent / parcel list location: Tax-deeded parcels offered for resale appear on the active WisconsinSurplus auction page (https://bid.wisconsinsurplus.com, filter for “Brown County … Tax Delinquent Real Estate”). needs_verification — whether Brown separately publishes the statutory delinquent-tax / in rem parcel list (Wis. Stat. 75.521 class-3 newspaper publication + posting); the publishing newspaper and online location were not confirmed from an official page.

Delinquency charge: Not published on the Brown County Treasurer pages retrieved. Under the state framework, delinquent real-property taxes carry Wis. Stat. 74.47(1) statutory interest of 1% per month, plus an optional county penalty of up to 0.5% per month under Wis. Stat. 74.47(2) (a combined ceiling of 1.5%/month where a county adopts the penalty by ordinance — see wisconsin §1 and dane-wi.md). needs_verification — whether Brown County has adopted the 0.5%/month penalty ordinance and the exact combined monthly rate it charges.

C2. Local Redemption → framework: right-of-redemption

Where to redeem: Pay the full redemption amount (all delinquent taxes, special assessments, interest, penalties, and county foreclosure/title costs) to the Brown County Treasurer:

  • 305 E. Walnut Street, Room 160, Green Bay, WI 54301 (mailing: PO Box 23600, Green Bay, WI 54305)
  • Phone: (920) 448-4074 · Email: bc_treasurer@browncountywi.gov · Fax: (920) 448-6341
  • Hours: Monday–Thursday 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM; Friday 7:30 AM – 11:30 AM
  • Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/ (retrieved 2026-06-02).

Statutory redemption (in rem path): Under Wis. Stat. 75.521, redemption stays open until the date fixed in the published class-3 notice — at least 8 weeks after first publication — and an interested party may answer within 30 days after that redemption-expiration date. The only three statutory defenses to the in rem action are: (1) the parcel was not liable to taxation; (2) the taxes were paid before the last day of redemption; (3) the tax lien was barred by limitations. The tax certificate issues annually (close of business August 31 / September 1) and the county cannot foreclose until two years after issuance. See wisconsin §2 for the full statutory analysis. Redemption is paid to the County Treasurer before the redemption-expiration date.

Local fees: Statutory interest/penalty under Wis. Stat. 74.47 (see §C1) plus the county’s foreclosure, title, and recording costs added to the redemption figure. needs_verification — exact Brown-set foreclosure/title cost add-ons and the combined monthly delinquency rate.

Deviations from state default: None identified; Brown follows the standard Wisconsin tax-deed / 75.521 in rem path. No separate published “repurchase” fee schedule (such as Dane County’s 1%-of-assessed-value pre-auction repurchase) was located on the official Brown site. needs_verification — whether Brown offers a post-deed pre-auction repurchase to former owners and on what terms.

C3. Local Surplus / Excess Proceeds → framework: surplus-funds

Governing law: Wis. Stat. 75.36(2m)/(3) as amended by 2021 Act 216 (eff. April 2, 2022) and 2023 Act 207. After the county resells tax-deeded land, net proceeds above the deduction waterfall (foreclosure/legal/advertising/title costs; maintenance/board-up/clean-up/demolition; broker fees; all unpaid taxes, interest, penalties, special assessments/charges) belong to the former owner. See wisconsin §3 for the full waterfall and Tyler-compliance analysis.

Notice & claim mechanics: Upon taking the tax deed the County Treasurer must notify the former owner by registered or certified mail to the tax-bill address that they may be entitled to a share of resale proceeds (Wis. Stat. 75.36(2m)(a)). The treasurer initiates the surplus payment; the former owner responds to the treasurer. If the payment is “returned to the county or otherwise not claimed by the former owner within one year following the mailing,” it becomes unclaimed funds disposed of under Wis. Stat. 59.66(2). See wisconsin §3.

Claim filing venue: Brown County Treasurer, 305 E. Walnut Street, Room 160, Green Bay, WI 54301 · (920) 448-4074 · bc_treasurer@browncountywi.gov.

Claim form: Brown County publishes a general unclaimed/uncashed-funds Claim Form (available at the Treasurer’s office or downloadable) used to claim county-held funds; no tax-deed-surplus-specific form was separately located. For surplus, the county initiates by mailing proceeds per Wis. Stat. 75.36(2m). Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/unclaimeduncashed-funds/ (retrieved 2026-06-02). needs_verification — whether tax-deed resale surplus is processed on that same Claim Form or a distinct surplus form, and the exact required documentation.

Unclaimed-funds list published? Yes — the Brown County Treasurer publishes an Unclaimed/Uncashed Funds list (a list dated January 31, 2023 was posted) at https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/unclaimeduncashed-funds/. To claim, file the Claim Form in person during business hours with photo ID; a notarized signature is required for claims of $100 or more (notary available on-site). The page does not state whether tax-deed resale surplus is included in that list. Statewide, Wisconsin residents may also search/claim through the Wisconsin DOR Unclaimed Property portal: https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/UnclaimedProperty/home.aspx. Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/unclaimeduncashed-funds/ (retrieved 2026-06-02). needs_verification — whether the published unclaimed-funds list includes tax-deed surplus or only general uncashed checks.

Mortgage-foreclosure surplus (different venue): Surplus from a sheriff’s (mortgage) foreclosure sale is paid into the circuit court; parties with an interest file a claim with the Brown County Clerk of Circuit Court (100 S. Jefferson Street, Green Bay; (920) 448-4155), and the court distributes by lien priority under Wis. Stat. 846.162. Federal claims can take statutory priority where the estate is insolvent (bank-of-america-v-estate-of-nelson-2025, 2025 WI App 61 — see wisconsin §8).

▸ For Investors / Operators — Brown County offers no investor lien-certificate auction; the only acquisition channel is the county’s WisconsinSurplus.com tax-deed resale of foreclosed land, conveyed by quit claim deed with no title insurance or abstract (§C1). Any surplus generated at resale runs through the Wis. Stat. 75.36(3) waterfall to the former owner. Before committing capital, weigh the in rem judgment’s finality and the 2-year / 6-year FMV-recovery window (Wis. Stat. 75.521(14a)), the path to marketable/insurable title (a Chapter 841 declaration of interest plus the 893.33 30-year limitation — wisconsin §5b), and which liens survive (subsequent taxes, environmental super-liens, and the IRS § 7425 120-day redemption — wisconsin §7b).

▸ For Former Owners — When Brown County resells your former property for more than the taxes, interest, penalties, and the 75.36(3) costs, the net surplus belongs to you (Wis. Stat. 75.36(2m)). The County Treasurer must notify you by registered or certified mail at your tax-bill address; respond promptly, because an unclaimed or returned payment becomes unclaimed funds within one year of mailing (s. 75.36(2m)(b), disposed under s. 59.66(2)). Pre-April-2-2022 forfeitures, where the county kept the surplus, are the subject of Tyler-based class litigation (Elliott, §C5).

C5. Local Procedure Notes

  • Tax-deed resales run through WisconsinSurplus.com, an online timed-auction platform, not an in-person courthouse auction and not Bid4Assets/GovEase/RealAuction. The county is the “seller”; the high bid requires county Administration Committee confirmation. Conveyance is by quit claim deed, no title insurance or abstract supplied.
  • No investor lien certificates. Wisconsin counties never sell tradeable tax liens (Wis. Stat. 74.57); Brown acquires fee title through the county tax-foreclosure process (in rem under Wis. Stat. 75.521 and/or tax deed by notice under 75.07/75.12/75.14) and resells. See wisconsin §1.
  • GovDeals vs. WisconsinSurplus. Brown County uses GovDeals for surplus equipment/personal property and WisconsinSurplus for tax-delinquent real estate; do not confuse the two listing sites. Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/administration/purchasing/for-saleauction/ (retrieved 2026-06-02).
  • Sheriff mortgage-foreclosure sales are held every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month at 10:00 AM in the Sheriff’s Office “Target Room” inside the Investigative doors at 2684 Development Drive, Green Bay. Successful bidders must provide a 10% down payment of the bid in cash or certified check at the sale, payable to the Brown County Clerk of Courts; the balance is due at/after the court Confirmation of Sale hearing (typically within 10 days of confirmation per the Notice of Foreclosure Sale terms), or the deposit is forfeited. Legal postings for upcoming sales are published on the Sheriff’s Office website under “Legal Postings,” organized by sale date. Confirmation-hearing dates are tracked through the Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (CCAP/WCCA) database. Sheriff-sale contact: Barb Hammer, barb.hammer@browncountywi.gov. Source: https://www.browncountywi.gov/government/sheriffs-office/sheriff-salesforeclosures/ (retrieved 2026-06-02).
  • 3-years-delinquent foreclosure trigger (state pattern). Wisconsin counties generally pursue tax foreclosure once a parcel has been delinquent long enough for the 2-year certificate-redemption period to run (certificate issues Sept 1; county may foreclose 2 years later). See wisconsin §1–§2. needs_verification — Brown County’s stated delinquency-year threshold before it commences foreclosure.
  • Elliott v. State of Wisconsin class action: All 72 Wisconsin counties — including Brown — are defendants in Elliott v. State of Wisconsin et al., No. 2:25-cv-00421-SCD (E.D. Wis., filed April 25, 2025), seeking surplus proceeds the counties retained since January 1, 1989, under pre-Tyler law. See wisconsin §3 and milwaukee-wi.md.

C6. Records Access

  • Parcel / property search (Land Records / Property Listing): https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/planning-and-land-services/property-listing/property-search/ and the GCS Web Portal https://prod-landrecords.browncountywi.gov/GCSWebPortal/Search.aspx — search by parcel number or property address; returns owner, municipality, district, land class, acreage, and assessed values.

  • Unclaimed funds: Brown County Treasurer list https://www.browncountywi.gov/departments/treasurer/general-information/unclaimeduncashed-funds/; state portal https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/UnclaimedProperty/home.aspx.

C8. Title & Quiet Title

  • Title type: tax deed (the county takes fee simple absolute by in rem judgment under Wis. Stat. 75.521(8), or by tax deed under 75.07/75.12/75.14, then conveys by quit claim deed at resale). Not a lien certificate; not a redeemable deed. See wisconsin §1, §7.
  • Quiet title required? Practically advisable, not statutorily mandatory. The 75.521 in rem judgment is intended to be self-clearing as to barred parties, but title underwriters commonly require either a Chapter 841 declaration of interest (Wisconsin’s “quiet title” action) or the running of the curative/limitation periods before insuring. Brown resale parcels are conveyed as-is by quit claim deed with no title insurance or abstract, so a buyer needing insurable/marketable title typically pursues a declaration of interest. See wisconsin §5b.
    • Action type: judicial — declaration of interest, Wis. Stat. ch. 841 (841.01).
    • Court: Brown County Circuit Court (Clerk of Circuit Court, 100 S. Jefferson Street, Green Bay; (920) 448-4155), where the property lies.
    • Statutory cutoffs investors rely on: the 75.521(14a) former-owner FMV-recovery window (2 years; 6 years for fraud) and the 893.33 30-year marketable-title limitation. See wisconsin §5b.
  • Typical timeline: an uncontested declaration-of-interest action commonly resolves in several months; service by publication on unknown/absent parties adds time. needs_verification — Brown-specific timeline (practitioner estimate, not a county-published figure).
  • Typical cost: typically a few thousand dollars (attorney fee + circuit-court filing fee + title abstract + publication). needs_verification — Brown-specific cost range (practitioner estimate).
  • Title insurers active locally: national underwriters operate in Brown County through Green Bay / Fox Valley title agencies, but underwriting posture on tax-deed title varies by underwriter. needs_verification — named title insurers/agents and their tax-deed seasoning requirements in Brown County (market practice, not statute).

C9. Purchaser Obligations

  • Subsequent-tax payment office: the Brown County Treasurer (305 E. Walnut St., Room 160, Green Bay; (920) 448-4074 / online tax-payment portal). Because Wisconsin counties — not investors — hold the tax certificate, there is no investor “subsequent-tax” sub-payment during a redemption period; a resale buyer simply becomes the new taxpayer of record and pays ongoing taxes (first installment to the municipal treasurer by Jan 31, balance to the County Treasurer by July 31). See wisconsin §1.
  • Notice to owner: in a tax foreclosure the county (not a private purchaser) gives the statutory in rem notice (certified mail + class-3 publication + posting) under Wis. Stat. 75.521(6), and the Treasurer sends the post-deed surplus notice under 75.36(2m). A private resale buyer has no separate owner-notice duty. See wisconsin §6.
  • Redemption-payment office: owners/lienholders redeem by paying the Brown County Treasurer (305 E. Walnut St., Room 160, Green Bay; (920) 448-4074) before the redemption-expiration date in the in rem notice. See §C2.
  • Occupancy / access during redemption: resale parcels are sold as-is, where-is by quit claim deed; the county does not deliver vacant possession or guarantee access, and the buyer takes title subject to occupants and to any eviction/quiet-title burden after the deed records. needs_verification — Brown-specific possession practice on tax-deeded resales.

C10. Local Restrictions

  • Land bank? None identified. No Brown County land bank or land-bank authority was located; the County Treasurer takes fee title by tax foreclosure and resells through WisconsinSurplus rather than transferring to a land bank. Wisconsin has no statewide land-bank enabling act (see wisconsin §11b). needs_verification — confirmation that no municipal/county land bank operates in Brown County (e.g., within the City of Green Bay).
  • Right of first refusal (ROFR)? None identified for tax-deeded resales; parcels go to the high confirmed bidder on the open WisconsinSurplus auction. Wisconsin’s surplus reform (Wis. Stat. 75.36, 2021 Act 216) does not create a former-owner ROFR, though Wis. Stat. 75.35(3) lets a county board optionally adopt a former-owner purchase preference by ordinance (see wisconsin §11b). needs_verification — whether Brown County has adopted any 75.35(3) former-owner preference ordinance or any local adjacent-municipality/utility ROFR.
  • Entity / insider restrictions: Wisconsin ch. 75 imposes no general entity or insider purchase bar on county tax-deed resales (see wisconsin §11b). LLCs, corporations, and trusts may bid; WisconsinSurplus terms bar bidders involved in administering the specific sale, and the county may reject bids from bidders with unpaid Brown County delinquencies. needs_verification — exact Brown County live-auction bidder-eligibility conditions.
