Lake County, Indiana

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

Treasurer Tax Search and Payment links the county’s property-tax record service and gives 219-755-3760 for Treasury. The Auditor Tax Sales department separately publishes Treasurer Tax Sale, Commissioners Tax Sale and redemption resources. Use the account search for collection history and request the Auditor’s dated redemption/certificate record as 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 Lake 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.
