Carroll County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

Carroll County Treasurer / Collector; County Clerk for sold-tax redemption

How to find the information

The Treasurer FAQ says to use Property Tax Search / Pay and enter only one criterion: a 12-digit PIN with no dashes, last name, or house number with street name. It gives 815-244-0245 if those methods do not work. Use the record for bill history and ask the office for an existing unpaid ledger or current Clerk redemption route.

To obtain existing unpaid-tax records, provide the parcel/PIN, tax year, payable year and desired as-of date. Specify whether you need current collection history, the annual delinquency publication, tax-sale/certificate history or a dated redemption estimate. Ask whether subsequent taxes, interest, penalties, costs and recent payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, research, certification and extract fees with the office. Assessor valuations, ordinary property sales, trustee-auction catalogs and payment receipts do not by themselves certify every unpaid obligation.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Carroll County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
