Where to obtain records

Hampshire County local routing; example: Northampton Treasurer/Collector

Office website →

How to find the information

Identify the city or town where the parcel lies. The municipal example below concerns Northampton. For another locality in Hampshire 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 Northampton property, use Treasurer/Collector. The office publishes 413-587-1293 for payment questions and identifies itself as custodian of Tax Title accounts and tax-title deeds. Ask which existing record supplies the required unpaid years, account history or current payoff.

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 Hampshire 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 office also handles excise, utility and parking charges. Its deputy-collector discussion appears with motor-vehicle excise and should not be assumed to cover real-estate Tax Title. Request the real-property scope explicitly. Northampton is one example within Hampshire County; other cities and towns have separate collection offices. 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.
