Brown County offices can answer county tax and land-record questions. We can help identify the account or recorded document for the property and check the current payoff information with the office or creditor.
Ask the Treasurer about the current property-tax account, balance, or notice. Brown County says the office collects taxes for the County, City, schools, and other districts. The office is at 25 Market St., Suite 2, Aberdeen, SD 57401; call 605-626-7133.
The Register of Deeds maintains county land records, including deeds, mortgages, liens, and related recorded documents. The office is at 25 Market St., Suite 3, Aberdeen, SD 57401; call 605-626-7140.

Brown County publishes Sheriff sale information separately. This does not mean a particular property is scheduled for sale; check the current notice and status with the office handling it.
Brown County lists property-tax viewing and payment through the Treasurer and Sheriff sale information on a separate county page. A tax account and a lender’s mortgage-foreclosure case have different records and deadlines. South Dakota permits mortgage foreclosure by court action or by advertisement when the mortgage contains a power of sale; check the mortgage, notice, and current case or sale record for the property.
A Brown County Sheriff Sales page is not proof that a house is in a tax sale or mortgage foreclosure. If you receive a tax notice, ask the Treasurer about the current tax account and the notice. For a mortgage-foreclosure or Sheriff sale notice, use the case and sale information named in that notice.
