Kankakee County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer’s current site separates property-tax payment, office duties and the Choices payment program. Contact the office at 189 E. Court Street, Kankakee for an existing unpaid ledger or delinquency publication; the County Clerk separately publishes Delinquent Taxes information under Tax Information.

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 Kankakee 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.

County-specific notes

A Choices payment arrangement or a payment gateway is not itself a complete delinquency database. Ask which records show current collection status versus taxes already sold. Reviewed October 28, 2026. County notices can change, and older calendars remain on some sites. No taxpayer query, CAPTCHA completion, account registration, record-request submission, bidder enrollment, upload or payment was performed. No owner-list attachments or taxpayer rows are included.
