Contact the office for delinquent property tax records. This guide does not confirm an online search or current bill list.

How to find the information

Morgan County confirms the County Clerk at 450 Prestonsburg Street, West Liberty, KY 41472 and the Sheriff at 606-743-3613. The clerk association’s morgan.clerkinfo.net link redirects to https://morgancoclerkky.gov/. Its Open Records Request page, https://morgancoclerkky.gov/927-2/, describes hand delivery to that street address, mail to PO Box 26, West Liberty, KY 41472, fax to 606-743-2111, or its published email route. It asks for the standard form or a written request identifying the applicant and precise records; review its eligibility guidance. The page states a response within five business days and advance payment before copies. This is a general records-request procedure; a dedicated delinquent-tax lookup or complete online tax-year coverage was not confirmed.

For transferred delinquent real-property tax bills, ask the County Clerk for the existing certificate-of-delinquency register, bill/certificate copies and payment, assignment or release history for the specified tax years. Provide the property address, parcel or bill number if known and the desired as-of date; these are request identifiers, not verified online search fields. Ask which years and formats are available and whether any public inspection or electronic-copy route is offered.

Kentucky DOR describes transfer from the Sheriff to the Clerk at the close of April 15 under the normal collection schedule; alternative schedules can change the transfer date. Confirm the actual year and transfer status. An ordinary current-year bill or Sheriff receipt is separate from the Clerk’s delinquent certificate. A dated sale advertisement covers certificates offered at that sale, not all currently unpaid accounts. Ask about certificates excluded, paid, assigned or released after publication.

For a certificate sold to a third party, ask the Clerk for the assignment and recorded release information and identify the current holder for a dated payoff. Court foreclosure, redemption and any surplus distribution records are separate; ask for the case number and responsible Circuit Court Clerk or sale officer where applicable. A certificate sale is not itself a sale of the real estate. Do not infer current balances from old notices.

What to ask for

Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
