Where to obtain records
Alger County Treasurer / Delinquent Real Property Tax Records
Official county property-tax access and records guidanceHow to find the information
The Treasurer expressly directs delinquent-tax searches to BS&A and separates them from AllPaid payment, location code 6470. The page lists 2025 and 2026 foreclosure lists as dated documents. Ask for the existing collection ledger or the applicable forfeiture/foreclosure record rather than treating an auction list as the complete unpaid roll.
For an existing-record request, provide the parcel identifier, city/township/village, tax year and desired as-of date. Distinguish the county delinquent collection ledger from a current local bill, recorded forfeiture certificate, foreclosure petition/judgment, auction result or proceeds record. Ask whether special assessments, utility charges, later adjustments, interest, fees and recent payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract charges. An assessment, payment receipt or auction catalog does not certify the complete current unpaid balance.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Alger 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.
