Office website →

How to find the information

The Illinois Department of Revenue county directory links Pope County Property Tax Inquiry, and the Treasurer’s association-hosted office profile also names that service. Its landing form separates Parcel Search from Mobile Home Search and offers parcel, owner and address criteria. Ask the Treasurer in Golconda for existing unpaid history or Clerk redemption records beyond the account view.

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 Pope 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.
