The City of Norfolk describes Norfolk as being in Madison County and the Elkhorn River Valley. City and county boundaries are different; use the property address and the notice or record in front of you rather than assuming the parcel's taxing district or a court venue from its city name. See the City of Norfolk About page ↗.
Useful offices
Assessment, property-tax payment, recorded property documents, and court contacts are different tasks. Start with the office that matches your question and confirm the property or case details directly with that office.
Madison County · assessment, valuation, tax-valuation records, and mapping
Contact the Assessor about a property assessment, assessed value, tax-valuation record, or mapping question. Assessment is a different task from paying a property-tax bill or finding a recorded deed.

City of Norfolk Building Services ↗Helpful local rule
On a taxable Nebraska deed transfer, state law makes the seller responsible for documentary stamp tax when the deed is recorded. For transfers before January 1, 2032, the rate is $3.32 for each $1,000 of value or part of $1,000; after that, it is set to drop to $2.32. The taxable value is generally the full price paid, including a loan the buyer takes over. Some transfers are exempt, including certain family transfers without payment and a personal representative's deed transferring property to heirs.
To check the taxable deed value or whether an exemption applies, ask the title or closing company or the Madison County Register of Deeds when the deed is recorded. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Nebraska's documentary stamp tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
