- Owner name
- House number, street name, street type, and city
- Sale price range or sale date range
- Township, tax district, property class, or tax year range for advanced searches
The tool also includes a mobile home search by mobile home number, owner name, or site address. Records are for inquiry and review, and automated data retrieval is prohibited.
- Choose the parcel, advanced parcel, or mobile home search option.
- Enter at least one search field.
- Review the matching record and change the tax year if you need current or prior year information.
Prior year tax information can be checked in the Devnet wEdge tool by changing the Tax Year tab; available years go back to 2003.

Escrow, delinquent taxes, and tax sale timing
If a mortgage company is expected to pay the tax bill, the shaded area of each stub may show that information. Property owners are still responsible for confirming that the correct parcel is paid on time and in full.
Use EscrowCheck on the real estate payment page to see whether an escrow payment has been submitted. This can help avoid double payments or missed payments through a lender.
After the fourth installment is due, Rock Island County may send a certified delinquency notice and publish unpaid amounts in the newspaper with an additional $10 fee. Taxes not paid by December 28, 2026, will be sold at the Tax Sale on December 29, 2026.
Assessment search and property tax relief
For assessment details, use the county’s Assessment Search page after agreeing to the disclaimer. Assessment records are public information for inquiry and review purposes only.
Property tax relief questions go through the Chief County Assessment Office or the taxpayer’s Township Assessor. Available forms listed by the county include homestead, senior freeze, disabled persons, disabled veterans, returning veterans, charitable, religious, hospital, open space, and natural disaster exemptions.
