PROPERTY TAX RESEARCH, MADE SIMPLER
Jersey County, Illinois
Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Jersey County Treasurer / Collector; County Clerk for sold-tax redemption
Official county tax-records access guidanceHow to find the information
The Treasurer links Property Tax Inquiry and says delinquent payments must go to its office in the Jersey County Government Building, while taxes already sold must be redeemed at the County Clerk. Use the Treasurer for an existing unpaid ledger or publication; ask the Clerk for a dated redemption estimate.
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 Jersey 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.
