Key Takeaways

•If you buy land at a special sale, you get a paper (certificate) proving you bought it.
•The real owner has 1 year to get their land back by paying what they owe.
•If the real owner doesn’t pay in 1 year, you can ask for the official land papers (deed).
•You must show your purchase paper and a note from the county saying no one paid to get the land back.

Example

You buy a piece of land at a county sale because the owner didn’t pay taxes. You get a paper saying you bought it.

If the original owner doesn’t pay the taxes within 1 year, you can go to the county with your purchase paper and a note from the treasurer. Then, the county will give you the official deed, and the land is yours.

If no redemption is made within one year the board, upon demand and the surrender of the certificate of purchase and the delivery of a certificate of the county treasurer that no redemption has been made within the year from date of sale, shall execute to the purchaser, his heirs or assigns, a deed of conveyance of the parcel of land described in the certificate. (Added by Stats. 1943, Ch. 369.)
