What is a Sheriff Sale?

A sheriff sale is the public auction of a property after foreclosure judgment. In Wisconsin, sheriff sales are conducted by the county sheriff's office. Once your property is scheduled for sheriff sale, time is critical.

Your Rights After Sheriff Sale

Redemption period: Typically 3-6 months depending on whether deficiency is waived
Surplus funds: If property sells for more than owed, you may receive excess proceeds
Deficiency judgment: If sold for less than balance, lender may pursue deficiency
