Office website →

How to find the information

Identify the city or town where the parcel lies. The municipal example below concerns Taunton. For another locality in Bristol County, the Office website link opens the state city/town directory; use its municipal department link to locate the Collector and, where separate, the Treasurer/Tax Title office.

For Taunton property, use Tax Title. The city expressly says its list of Tax Title properties is available for review in the Treasurer’s Office and is constantly changing. Call 508-821-1057 to request inspection or an existing current copy/extract.

For an existing delinquent real-estate report, account/payment history or current payoff, state the municipality, parcel or map/block/lot identifier if known, tax years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask whether the record covers ordinary unpaid bills, Tax Title accounts or foreclosed property, and confirm any copying, extract or certification charge before ordering.

What to ask for

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

An online complete tax-title list was not confirmed; the published access method is office review. A Tax Title account concerns a collection stage and may not include every recently unpaid bill. Specify the requested as-of date and ask about any copy or certification charge. Bristol County, Massachusetts, is distinct from Bristol County, Rhode Island. Reviewed status concerns source/access guidance, not taxpayer liability. No taxpayer query, payment, account registration or records-request submission was made; no taxpayer rows are included in this import.
