Useful offices
The county offices below are at the Miami County Courthouse in Peru. The City Building Department serves City of Peru matters, not every property in Miami County. The county map shows separate Peru, Bunker Hill, and Converse planning jurisdictions; check the address to identify the applicable office.
Miami County · property assessments and valuation records

Miami County Assessor ↗Miami County · real-estate and delinquent-tax collection

Miami County Courthouse, 25 N Broadway, Room 201, Peru, IN 46970.
Miami County Treasurer ↗Miami County · tax calculations and deductions
Use the Auditor for county tax-calculation and deduction questions. For an assessed value, contact the Assessor; for an unpaid bill or payment status, contact the Treasurer.
Miami County Courthouse, 25 N Broadway, Room 202, Peru, IN 46970.
Miami County Auditor ↗Miami County · recorded deeds and other property documents

Miami County Recorder ↗Miami County · court filings and estate self-filing information
Start with the Clerk for court-filing or estate self-filing information and follow the court and case named on your paperwork. The Clerk says staff cannot give legal advice.

Miami County Clerk of Courts ↗Miami County · local court routing for estate matters and mortgage-foreclosure cases
If your estate or mortgage-foreclosure papers name this court, use the court information and case details on those papers. Filings go to the Clerk of Courts; court staff do not replace advice from your own attorney.
Miami County Courthouse, Third Floor, 25 N Broadway, Peru, IN 46970.
Miami Circuit Court ↗City of Peru · building, zoning, permits, and code enforcement
For a property in the City of Peru, contact the Building Department about permits, zoning, or a city code matter. A property elsewhere in Miami County may have a different local office.
City Hall, 35 S Broadway, Peru, IN 46970.
City of Peru Building Department ↗Indiana sale-cost rule
Indiana property-transfer information is filed with the county Auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, though some transfers are exempt. That fee is separate from recording and other closing charges, so ask the closing professional whether an exemption applies and have the transaction figures shown clearly.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.

Contact the Miami County Assessor about assessed value and assessment records. The Assessor is different from the Treasurer, who handles property-tax collection, and the Recorder, who handles recorded property documents.
Ask the Miami County Treasurer about a real-estate tax balance or payment status. The Auditor handles county tax-calculation and deduction questions; the Assessor handles assessments and valuation records.
Use the Miami County Recorder for a recorded deed or other property document. A court judgment belongs to a court case, not the Recorder’s property-document index: start with the Clerk of Courts and the court and case identified on the paperwork. Filings go to the Clerk, whose staff cannot give legal advice.
