Delinquent taxes and tax sale information

For tax sale purposes, the Treasurer certifies delinquent parcels to the Auditor after the spring installment due date, usually on July 1. A parcel must be 3 installments or more delinquent to qualify for the list.

Madison County lists these ways for a current owner to be removed from a tax sale:

  • Pay all delinquent taxes by the Friday before the day of the tax sale.
  • Make a payment arrangement on the delinquent taxes.
  • Appear before the judge at the hearing on objections.

Once a tax certificate is sold at tax sale, the owner has 1 year to redeem the property through the Auditor’s Office. The Treasurer’s tax sale page gives the Auditor’s Office phone number for redemption questions.

Mortgage company payment processing

Madison County processes escrow payments from mortgage companies electronically. About 6–8 weeks before payments are due, the Treasurer sends an add-delete file for parcels on record with each mortgage company.

About 3–5 weeks before the installment due date, another payment file is sent for parcels included in the add-delete file. Mortgage companies with questions about this procedure are directed to the Chief Deputy Treasurer listed in the staff directory.
