Douglas County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Douglas County, Illinois Treasurer FAQ identifies a 12-digit PIN/parcel number on the payment coupon and gives 217-253-4011 for duplicate bills. The main Treasurer page separately links Property Tax Search, Pay Property Taxes and Tax Distribution Reports. Use the search for account research and ask for an existing unpaid ledger or Clerk redemption record.

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
