Useful county offices
Start with the record you need
These offices serve Wayne County. Assessment, unpaid taxes, deeds, court records, and plats are different records, so use the link that matches your question and have the property address or case number ready.
Wayne County Treasurer
Wayne County · property-tax questions
For an unpaid property-tax question, ask the Treasurer for the current balance and payment status for the property address. Confirm the amount and any due date with the county for that specific property.
Wayne County Recorder
Wayne County · recorded deeds and land records
Use the Recorder for a deed or another recorded land-document question. A recorded deed is a different record from an assessment, tax balance, or court case.
Wayne County Clerk of Courts
Wayne County · court case records
For a court case or judgment record, start with the Clerk of Courts or the county case-search page—not the Recorder. A title professional or attorney can help determine how a particular court record applies to the property.
Wayne County Auditor
Wayne County · auditor and plat office
The Auditor is also the county plat office. Start there with a plat-office or auditor-record question; ask the office which record or procedure applies to the address.
Indiana rule to know
An inherited house may not have to wait for probate to finish
For some Indiana estates, a court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will or court restriction can change the answer. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions with an estate attorney or title professional before planning a closing.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
