What is Wisconsin's real estate transfer fee and how does it apply in Eau Claire?

Accepted Answer

Wisconsin charges $3.00 per $1,000 of sale price (0.3%). The fee is collected through the Eau Claire County Register of Deeds (verify current county office location before relying on it) when the deed is recorded. On a $285,000 Eau Claire home, that's $855 total. We cover all closing costs when you sell to us. Source: Wisconsin DOR / Wis. Stat. §77.22.

Question 3

How does Wisconsin foreclosure work in Eau Claire County?

Accepted Answer

Wisconsin requires judicial foreclosure — the lender must go through Eau Claire County Circuit Court . After the court enters a judgment, there's a redemption period (typically 3–6 months for newer mortgages) before the sheriff's sale. Eau Claire County sheriff-sale schedules and locations should be confirmed from the current county posting before relying on them. Total timeline: 6–18 months from filing. A cash sale before judgment stops the process and preserves your equity. Consult a Wisconsin-licensed real estate attorney for your situation. Source: Wisconsin Law Help; county sheriff-sale details should be verified for the parcel.
