What is a Sheriff Warrant?

A tax warrant that comes from your county sheriff is not a warrant for your arrest. It is a warrant for amounts due, which could include:

• Tax due
• Agency fees
• Clerk costs
• Collection fee
• Interest assessed
• Penalties assessed

The tax warrant is filed with all county clerk’s offices in which you have assets and then provided to the county sheriff for collection.

The warrant information will appear on a credit report or title search and becomes a tax lien on your property. The lien balance is what is due to DOR and does not include any of the additional fees, as listed above, that you may also owe.

Check a Tax Lien Balance

What happens if you don’t pay?

If the Sheriff Warrant is not paid by the date due, the sheriff may collect the amount owed by:

• Property auction
• Bank account levy
• Wage garnishment

Pay a Sheriff Warrant

Pay directly or establish a payment plan (for up to one year) with your county sheriff.

Payments made to the sheriff’s office can take up to 45 days to process before clearing the tax lien with DOR and could be subject to additional service fees. More information on Sheriff Warrants is available.

Pay using INTIME

DOR recommends contacting your local sheriff’s office first.

However, customers have the option to make a one-time payment or establish a payment plan with DOR using INTIME.

Customers who opt to pay the tax warrant using INTIME could still have to pay the sheriff’s office service fee(s). You will need to contact your county’s sheriff office to determine any outstanding service fee balance due to them.

Still have questions?

Contact DOR through INTIME messaging to submit a question or resolve your issue quickly and efficiently. Once logged in, select the “All Actions” tab and then the “Messages” section.

Submissions are items that have been entered into INTIME for processing, such as a payment, request for a return transcript, etc.

Before you check the status of payment
