Madison County Property Tax Inquiry

Use the Madison County Property Tax Inquiry to search for real estate or mobile home tax information. The system says to choose only one search method instead of filling in every field.

• Parcel number, using the 15- to 18-digit number
• Owner last name
• Site address
• Mobile home number, with or without dashes

The search also includes advanced filters for tax codes, tax districts, property classes, townships, land uses, sales criteria, and tax years.

• Select the parcel search or mobile home search option.
• Enter one supported search value, such as parcel number, owner name, or site address.
• Review the matching tax information and confirm the parcel details before using the result for payment or follow-up.

Search tip: If a search fails, clear the form and try a single different search value, such as owner name instead of address.

Assessment and parcel information

The Madison County Chief County Assessment Office monitors countywide real property valuation for real estate taxation. It handles assessment-related work such as exemptions, preferential assessments, sales analysis, equalization factors, assessment notices, parcel numbering, cadastral maps, and real estate tax bill mailing addresses.

The office also describes its property record search as a place to find real estate assessment and property tax information, including current owners, addresses, assessments, sales, and related parcel details.

For map-based parcel research, the Madison County GIS Viewer supports parcel searches by parcel number, owner last name, and spatial search.

Tax rates, delinquent taxes, and older tax information

The Madison County Clerk’s Tax and Real Estate office computes property tax rates, handles redemption of delinquent taxes, and keeps tax information records. It also lists tax extension, tax redemption, tax searches, taxing district changes, and plat certification as related functions.

If unpaid taxes have been sold, the Clerk’s office can provide an Estimate of Redemption. Redemption must be paid by cash, certified funds, or money order made payable to the Madison County Clerk.

For past years taxes, the Clerk’s office provides tax search options. A user may search in the office computer, or provide a parcel number so the office can provide an estimate of redemption by email, fax, or U.S. mail.

The County Clerk’s tax and real estate page also lists online resources for Madison County tax rate codes and levy, valuation, and rate information.
