Open Fayette County tax bill searchHow to find the information
Search by owner last name or first name, bill number, tax year, account/parcel number, or street address. Select Show Only Delinquent Bills if appropriate. Results are limited to 1,000 records, so narrow the search where possible. Open a bill to review its recorded details and confirm current status with the responsible office.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Fayette 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 clerk’s search instructions explain that current tax-year bills are held by the Fayette County Sheriff. A bill assigned to a third-party purchaser is different from a bill still held by the clerk. Confirm the correct payment recipient before acting.
