This page helps users handle Property Tax tasks in Madison County, Indiana, including looking up tax records, checking balances, reviewing tax rates, and finding the correct office for payment or assessment questions.

The main local resource is the Madison County Treasurer’s Office, which provides the County Treasurer Tax List, tax information with charges, multiple-parcel search, payment notices, and tax-related contact help.

Madison County Treasurer Tax List

Use the County Treasurer Tax List to search Madison County property tax records online. The search page is marked “Not for Official Use,” so use it as a public lookup tool and contact the Treasurer’s Office when a balance or parcel status is unclear.

You can search with one of the following details:

  • Property or parcel number, if known
  • Owner name, often starting with the last name
  • Property address, including the city when helpful

Search tip: Entering too much information may narrow the results too far.

  • Open the County Treasurer Tax List.
  • Enter a parcel number, owner name, or property address.
  • Review matching parcels by district number, parcel number, tax year, owner name, and property address.
  • If a property was split or combined within the last two years, search by last name to find all related bills.

Tax information with charges

For bill amounts, use the Tax List with Charges. This tool shows parcel details with the tax year, payable year, spring and fall payment amounts, payments, and balance information when available.

The listed tax year shown for current records is 2025 payable 2026, and the tax list was last updated on 06/18/2026. Balance and payment figures should be checked carefully before paying, especially when multiple parcels or recent parcel changes are involved.

Online payments and multiple parcels

The Treasurer’s Office posts payment notices on its online payments page. The notice says online payments will not be available for the next two weeks while Madison County changes online payment vendors.

As of June 23rd, scheduled automatic payments will not be withdrawn. The county states that users will be able to set up those payments with the new vendor when it becomes available on June 24th, and that new rates will be released at that time.

For paying or checking more than one parcel, use the multiple parcels search. Enter one parcel number per line.

Property tax calculation and rates

The Madison County Property Tax Calculation page provides an estimated property tax calculator. It includes fields for tax year, tax district, property type, credits, gross assessments, deductions, and exemptions.

For district-level rates, review the Madison County tax rates. The rate table for 2025 payable 2026 breaks out county, township, city or town, school, library, special, and total rates by tax district.

Office roles for property tax questions

The Madison County Treasurer is the county’s general tax collector, custodian, and investor. The Treasurer’s Office can help with payments, balance due questions, mobile home transfer permits, and questions about past taxes.

  • Redeeming property sold at tax sale or commissioner’s sale: Auditor’s Office
  • Deed transfers, ownership, and deed information: Recorder’s Office
