Open Desha delinquent real-estate publicationHow to find the information
Open the Desha real-estate delinquent publication and check the report year before using any entry. The inspected heading includes REPORT YEAR: 2024. Use the browser’s Find function for a parcel or name, then ask the collector to confirm the record’s present status and the tax year represented. For local delinquent real-estate records, contact the Desha County Collector at 870-877-2525. Provide a parcel number or owner name, the tax year and whether you need one account or an existing countywide delinquent real-estate file. Ask which years remain with the collector, which were certified to COSL, and whether electronic copies or inspection are available; request a fee estimate before ordering. For certified-to-state parcels, use COSL Search by Name, choose Desha in County and enter the listed last name (and optional first name). Alternatively choose Search by Parcel Number and use the parcel identifier from the real-property tax bill. Confirm the county and tax years in any matching record.

County-specific notes
The Commissioner of State Lands (COSL) search concerns delinquent real-estate parcels certified to the state. It does not enumerate every unpaid county bill. County account records, published delinquent notices, auction offerings and sale results have different scopes; an absent search result does not establish that taxes are paid. Search forms and access routes were reviewed without submitting taxpayer searches. Individual balances, result completeness and bulk exports were not verified. A dated report may retain entries after subsequent payments. Its displayed amounts must not be treated as current payoff figures.
