Please contact the County Treasurer for information regarding the purchase of County tax liens.
Madison County Tax Lien Purchase Policy
Tax lien purchases can be made in person or by mail.
If two tax payments for lien purchases arrive the same day in the mail; the one with the earliest postage date will be chosen. If postmarked the same day, we will put several numbers in a cup and have a random employee draw. The highest number chosen will get to purchase the tax lien certificate.
Customers at the counter will be first come first serve for tax lien purchases. If two customers arrive at the same time we will follow the same process as payments received via mail.
