Jay County, Indiana

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The current Treasurer page links Beacon for payment and tax information and gives 260-726-7007 as the office phone. It publishes temporary payment-service shutdowns around installment dates so penalties can be assessed. Use the account reference or ask for the existing unpaid ledger and Auditor sale/redemption history.

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 Jay 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 payment-service shutdown does not imply that records are unavailable.
