74.77 Effect on lien of payment of taxes by lienholder.
(1) Payment increases lien. A person who holds a lien on real property and pays real property taxes, special assessments, special charges or special taxes levied against the property or any interest or penalty increases the amount of his or her most senior lien against the property by the amount paid, plus interest at the rate of 1.0 percent per month or fraction of a month. An increase in the amount of a lien by this section does not affect the priority or enforcement of the lien.
