Brookings County, South Dakota

Where to obtain records

Brookings County Finance Office / Auditor-Treasurer

How to find the information

Tax Information identifies a combined Auditor/Treasurer Finance Office. It links an online service and instructs lookup by last name or the fifteen-digit parcel number in 00000-00000-000-00 format. Ask that office for an existing delinquency report, parcel ledger or dated payoff.

To request an existing delinquent real-property report, parcel account/payment ledger, bill copy or dated redemption/payoff calculation, provide the county parcel/Tax ID if known, tax years and payable years, desired as-of date and preferred inspection or electronic-copy format. Ask whether the record includes special assessments, tax certificates, interest, penalties and costs. Confirm any copy, certification or extract charge and ask for an existing report rather than assuming the office creates custom lists. A valuation, payment screen, dated publication or tax-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 Brookings 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.
