Where to obtain records

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

Official county tax-records access guidance

How to find the information

The Treasurer’s FAQ distinguishes ordinary tax bills and mortgage-company payment questions from My Property Sold at Tax Sale. Use Treasury for existing unpaid collection history and request the Auditor’s dated redemption/certificate record if taxes were sold.

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 Spencer 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

Mobile Home Permits and inheritance/other county taxes are separate services. Confirm recent escrow postings rather than inferring status from a mortgage statement. 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.

We help you locate records; we do not store taxpayer lists, determine delinquency, collect taxes, or sell tax liens. Confirm balances, payment status, deadlines, and fees with the responsible office. A tax-sale list is not a complete list of delinquent accounts.
