Search and Pay Champaign County Property Taxes

This page helps users handle a Property Tax task in Champaign County, Illinois, including finding tax bill details, checking payment timing, and knowing which county office to contact.

The main online lookup is the Champaign County Property Tax Inquiry, while payment and billing questions are handled by the Champaign County Treasurer/Collector.

Champaign County Property Tax Inquiry

Use the Champaign County Property Tax Inquiry to search real estate, parcel, sale, and mobile home tax information. The most direct search is by parcel number as shown on the tax bill, but the system also supports address and other search fields.

• Parcel number, with or without dashes
• House number, street name, street type, and city
• Sale date range or sale price range
• Township, tax district, property class, or tax year range
• Mobile home number, owner name, or site address

For the cleanest results, start with the most specific identifier available before widening the search.

• Choose Parcel Search, Advanced Parcel Search, or Mobile Home Search.
• Enter at least one supported search field.
• Review the matching tax record and confirm the parcel, address, or owner information.
• Clear the form and try another search field if the first search does not locate the record.

Payment deadlines matter. Not receiving a bill, or receiving it late, does not remove penalties when taxes are unpaid after the due date.

Real estate tax bills and payment timing

The Champaign County Collector mails one real estate tax bill for the full year, with payment coupons for two equal installments. A second bill is not sent for the second installment.

Checks should be made payable to Champaign County Collector. Mailed payments go to Champaign County Collector, P.O. Box 4306, Springfield, IL 62708-4306.

For online tax access, use the Champaign County tax office site. After September 30, 2026, payment must be made in person at the Treasurer/Collector’s Office with cash, cashier’s check, or money order.

Mobile home taxes

The Treasurer/Collector also handles mobile home taxes. The 2026 mobile home tax bills were mailed May 1, and the due date is July 2. A July 2 postmark is considered on time, and late charges begin July 3.

Mobile home taxes are based on the age and square footage of the home. By law, interest of $25 per month may be assessed after the due date, up to $100.

Before buying a mobile home, call the Treasurer’s Office to confirm that taxes are paid to date. A Mobile Home Certification is needed to obtain clear title, and the certification is available from the Treasurer’s Office.

Assessment questions and exemptions

For address corrections, assessment questions, and many exemption programs, contact the County Assessment Office. If a tax bill was not received, first verify that the information is current with the Supervisor of Assessments.

The County Assessment Office handles exemption forms for programs such as the General Homestead Exemption, Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption, Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption, Persons with Disabilities Homestead Exemption, veterans exemptions, and Natural Disaster Homestead Exemption.

Forms available through the Assessment Office cannot be submitted by fax or email. Contact the office to have a form mailed, or use the county’s posted exemption form options where available.

Real estate sales and GIS tools

Champaign County also offers GIS tools that can help users compare property information. The real estate sales search supports filters such as sale year, sale amount, property code, and map extent.

The Parcel Sliver Detector helps property owners identify small adjacent parcels that may be eligible for a combination request. The county GIS map is a general spatial index and is not intended for legal descriptions or detailed site-specific decisions.
