Elkhart County, Indiana

Where to obtain records

Elkhart County Treasurer; Auditor for tax-sale/redemption records

How to find the information

The Treasurer says annual sale-eligible properties are listed through SRI and the county website and published in The Goshen News and The Wakarusa Tribune. It separately describes personal-property/mobile-home demand notices and collection through AFCS. Request the correct existing ledger or dated publication for the record type needed.

Provide the parcel/PIN or duplicate number, tax year, payable year and desired as-of date when requesting existing records. Specify current collection history, a dated delinquency publication, a tax-sale certificate/redemption record or a personal-property judgment. Ask whether assessments, penalties, costs, subsequent taxes and recent payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges. A valuation, payment receipt, advertised minimum bid or sheriff foreclosure is not by itself proof of every current unpaid obligation.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Elkhart 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.
