Franklin County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer separates Online Real Estate Tax Inquiry, Online Real Estate Tax Payment and the Delinquent Tax Agent’s property sale. Use inquiry for collection history and ask Treasury for an existing unpaid ledger or publication. The page directs post-sale delinquent-tax questions to the County Clerk.

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 Franklin 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.
