Webster County, Iowa

Where to obtain records

Webster County Treasurer / Property Tax and Tax-Sale Records

How to find the information

The county-authored portal lists owner name, parcel number, receipt number and street address as search options. The county website separately links Tax Sale Info and Property Taxes, locates Treasury at 701 Central Avenue, Fort Dodge, and publishes 515-576-4611. Use that office for the existing ledger or dated certificate/redemption record; the portal’s placeholder location text is not used as an address.

For an existing-record request, specify the parcel number, assessment/tax year, payable year and desired as-of date. Distinguish an ordinary collection ledger, dated delinquency publication, tax-sale certificate history and a dated redemption quote. Ask whether special assessments, drainage charges, subsequent taxes, penalties, costs and recent payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges with the Treasurer. Assessed values, a payment receipt and an advertised sale amount have different scope from a complete current unpaid balance.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Webster 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.
