Greene County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer explains that the annual tax sale sells delinquent taxes, while taxes already sold must be redeemed in the Greene County Clerk’s Office. Use the collection desk in Carrollton for existing unpaid account history or the applicable publication; request a dated Clerk redemption estimate for sold taxes.

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 Greene 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.
