Where to obtain records

Traverse County Auditor-Treasurer

How to find the information

Traverse’s Property Tax Information page embeds a tax tool and offers a separate link to open it in a new browser window. If the embedded view is unavailable, use that published link rather than assuming records are absent. The Auditor/Treasurer at 702 Second Avenue North, Wheaton lists 320-422-7740 for existing unpaid-ledger or dated payoff requests beyond the ordinary property view.

For existing records, provide the parcel/account identifier, tax year and desired as-of date. Specify an unpaid collection ledger, dated delinquent publication, tax judgment, confession-of-judgment plan ledger, expiration-of-redemption notice or tax-forfeiture record. Ask which special assessments, penalties, interest, costs and later payments are included. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, tax-search and extract charges before ordering. Assessment/ownership data, an original bill and a forfeited-property sale inventory do not certify the complete current delinquent amount.

What to ask for

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