Nelson County Auditor/Treasurer / Property Tax

How to find the information

The current county homepage links 2025 Tax Statement Info to a reviewed Nelson iTax form; the map’s older page route has moved. Auditor/Treasurer explains access to tax records and maintains the tax list. Use one search criterion at a time.

For an existing delinquent real-property report, parcel account/payment ledger, statement copy or dated payoff, provide the parcel/tax ID if known, tax years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask which principal taxes, interest, penalties, special assessments and costs are included and confirm any copy, certification or extract fee. A statement, recorded lien or sale notice does not certify today’s unpaid balance.

What to ask for

“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Nelson 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 reviewed iTax page displayed that online payments were disabled. The office page distinguishes collection records from tax-deed foreclosures and county-deed sales; neither an old map link nor a payment notice determines search completeness. The office phone/extension is corroborated by the North Dakota Association of Counties Treasurer directory; confirm the current collection counter. No account registration, payment, taxpayer search, records-request submission or owner-list attachment download was performed. This import contains access guidance, not taxpayer rows.
