Madison County, Indiana

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer’s published guidance explicitly directs redemption of property sold at tax sale or Commissioners sale to the Auditor’s Office. It separately provides Tax Sale for Current Owners and Tax Sale for Potential Buyers. Request an existing collection ledger through Treasury and a dated Auditor redemption/certificate record after sale.

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 Madison 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.
