How to find the information

Identify the city or town where the parcel lies. The municipal example below concerns Edgartown. For another locality in Dukes 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 Edgartown property, use Collector’s Office. Published official guidance covers real-estate collection and Municipal Lien Certificates and gives 508-627-6135 for the office, with a separate collector staff contact.

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 Dukes 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 indexed official page posts a $25 Municipal Lien Certificate charge; confirm it before ordering. A certificate is property-specific and may include other municipal charges, not just real-estate tax. Its deputy-collector link concerns delinquent motor-vehicle excise. Direct page retrieval returned 403, so no native account form was inspected. Other Dukes County towns, including Gosnold, require their own collectors. 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.
