PROPERTY TAX RESEARCH, MADE SIMPLER
Monroe County, Indiana
Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Monroe County Treasurer; Auditor for tax-sale/redemption records
Official county tax-records access guidanceHow to find the information
The county’s Online Property Tax Payment guidance explains that delinquent taxes, penalties and fees roll to the next payment deadline after the prior deadline passes. Use Treasury for the existing account ledger and a dated amount if an original coupon is outdated; request Auditor records for sold certificates.
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 Monroe 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
The separate LOW Tax Info page retains an older calculation-delay notice and zero-current-tax wording. A displayed $0 during that update is not a certificate of no unpaid taxes. Reviewed October 28, 2026. Published calendars can be older than current access instructions. No taxpayer criteria, account registration, CAPTCHA, public-records request, bidder enrollment or payment was submitted. No taxpayer rows or owner-list attachments are included in this guide.
