Tax Year Tax Amount

Each year after the most recent year's bills are advertised to the public a service and advertising fee are added to the bills, which would cause any previous calculations made on the current year's delinquent bills to be incorrect due to the missing service and advertising fee. Generally, these bills are advertised to the public during the first two weeks of July.

The information provided by this search engine should be reliable and accurate, however this search engine is to be used strictly for the purpose of calculating pay-offs for delinquent taxes. Under no circumstances should the information provided here be used in reference to any kind of legal title work as we cannot guarantee that all delinquents will be shown or that everything shown here is truly delinquent.

Always call the Hardin County Clerk's office to verify the pay-off amounts prior to making any payments. Never send payment or make out a check based solely on the results given here.
