The Polk County Treasurer, Amanda Nissen, has prepared a List of Tax Liens of Polk County being Foreclosed by Proceeding In Rem, a verified copy of which is attached and incorporated herein by reference. 2. The foreclosure of the tax liens through in rem proceedings is governed by Section 75.521 Wisconsin Statutes and the requirements therein have been fulfilled. 3. The time periods after the date of the tax certificates, as stated is set forth in Section 75.521 (3), have lapsed for the properties included and described in said List of Tax Liens. 4. Notice of this proceeding shall be given to all parties specified in Section 75.521 (3) c Stat. by the County Treasurer sending a copy of this petition, and a copy of said List of Tax Liens of Polk County by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

WHEREFORE, the Petitioner requests that the court grant judgment in favor of Polk County vesting title to the parcels of land described in the attached “List of Tax Liens� in Polk County, thereby, barring any and all claims whatsoever of the former owners or any persons claiming through and under the former owners since the date of filing the list of tax liens in the Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court.

Because of the limitations of information in the Treasurer’s Office, they are based solely on name matches. While we are required to list them based on name matches, we understand that they may not be against the person indicated. This practice is consistent with other property tax foreclosure listings by County Treasurer’s Offices across the State of Wisconsin
