These offices keep different records. Use the Assessor for assessed value, the Treasurer for property-tax bills and payments, the Recorder for deeds, and the Clerk’s Office and courts for case records. The City handles its own permits and code matters only inside City limits. Use the property address and the notice or record in front of you.
Local records and offices
Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are separate questions. Call the office that keeps the record you need; the court directory lists a contact number for its Elkhart County courts.
Elkhart County · assessed value and property-assessment records
Start with the Assessor for an assessed-value or assessment-record question. That is different from checking whether property taxes are unpaid, finding a recorded deed, or looking up a court judgment.
Elkhart County · property-tax bills, payments, and unpaid-tax questions
Use the Treasurer for a property-tax bill or payment question. A county property-tax balance is separate from a mortgage-foreclosure case and from a court judgment.
Elkhart County · deeds and other recorded land documents
Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and other land documents. A recorded deed search is different from looking up a court case or judgment.
Elkhart County · court and case records
For a court notice, case record, or possible judgment, start with the county court directory and use the court and case information on the actual notice. A court listing does not determine which court has a particular case.

City of Elkhart only · building, permits, code, and rental registration/inspection
Use the City for a permit, code, property-maintenance, or rental-registration question about a property inside City limits. A mailing address alone does not establish City jurisdiction.
The City lists its Building & Code office at 229 S. 2nd Street, Elkhart, IN 46516.
Local rules and next steps
Often, yes. In an unsupervised Indiana estate, a court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date.
The City says rental units and rental-unit communities within City limits are to be registered, with an inspection scheduled for each unit. If you own a rental that may be inside the City, check the address and current registration or inspection status with Building & Code.
The City describes a program intended to help low-to-moderate-income homeowners repair and rehabilitate their primary residences. If you live in the house and are weighing repairs before a sale, ask the City whether the program is currently accepting applications and whether you qualify.
