How sheriff sales work in Dane County
Foreclosures in Dane County go through circuit court. After judgment and the redemption period, the sheriff sells the property at public auction, and the court then confirms the sale.
The successful bidder usually pays 10% at the sale and the balance after confirmation, and takes the property as is. Sales are often adjourned, so confirm the date shortly before the sale.
Our Wisconsin data comes from official county sheriff sale lists. It does not yet include every county; more coming.
