Hill County, Montana
Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
Hill County Treasurer / Property Tax
County tax-records access guidanceHow to find the information
Treasurer publishes a pending-tax-lien notice and explains that purchasing a lien does not mean owning the property; the tax-deed process is separate. Use the office for an existing unpaid ledger or dated redemption amount.
To obtain an existing delinquent real-property report, account/payment ledger, bill copy or dated redemption/payoff calculation, provide the county tax ID/parcel or geocode if known, tax years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask which taxes, interest, penalties and costs are included and confirm any copy, certification or extract charge. A dated list, lien or deed record does not certify today’s unpaid balance.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Hill 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.
