What is eRETR?

If you are filing a deed with the Register of Deeds office, you need to file a Wisconsin Real Estate Transfer Return Form.  That form can ONLY be done on-line using the Department of Revenue’s website.

Due to the uniqueness or legal matter of each persons situation, the Register of Deeds office can not assist in the completion of this form or any other legal documents. If you have any questions regarding this form, please contact the Department of Revenue at either 608.264.6885 or 608.266.1594. They can also be reached by email at: eretr@revenue.wi.gov
