Wayne County, Indiana

Where to obtain records

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

How to find the information

The Treasurer separates public View/Pay Taxes from paperless billing, whose account uses an access code. It asks callers to obtain the amount with penalties if online payment does not work. Use Treasury for the existing unpaid ledger and the Auditor for dated certificate/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 Wayne 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.
