Menard County, Illinois

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer/Collector links Property Tax Search and says sold-tax redemption calculations are made through the County Clerk. Its published record charges include a $5 duplicate bill, a $75 delinquent-sale list with one free update and a $1,000 full real-estate file on CD or by email. Ask which existing report actually covers unpaid accounts.

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 Menard 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.
