[Adopted 8-21-1990 by Ord. No. 6-90]
The purpose of this article is to provide the
County Treasurer an alternative to the traditional means of taking
corrective action for delinquent taxes. The traditional method of
enforcement is the taking of a tax deed which has proven itself to
be cumbersome in the amount of time necessary to research and risky
to the County in that if something was missed during the research
of the title and liens the deed may be challenged for up to three
years from the date of taking by any party of interest.
The alternate method proposed is the foreclosure
in rem procedure. This method provides for a well-researched and warranted
title.
From and after August 21, 1990, Price County
elects to adopt the provisions of § 75.521, Wis. Stats.,
for the purpose of enforcing tax liens in such County in cases where
the procedure provided by such section is applicable.
