If you are purchasing a mobile home, or you are acting on behalf of someone purchasing a mobile home, in order to transfer ownership, you must request a Tax Clearance Certificate from the Treasurer-Tax Collector.
To avoid delays, please fill in the form as completely and accurately as possible.
Step 1:
Complete the forms below and submit them to taxcollector@maderacounty.com
Following the receipt of a request, the Treasurer-Tax Collector searches the secured and unsecured property tax roll to verify existing tax bills are paid or if there is an outstanding tax liability.
Estimated Taxes
The Madera County Treasurer-Tax Collector requires payment of the estimated taxes, in addition to payment of any unpaid prior taxes owed, to issue a Tax Clearance Certificate.
If an escrow company, as a result of a pending sale, requests a Tax Clearance Certificate, the Treasurer-Tax Collector will issue a Conditional Tax Clearance Certificate requiring the estimated taxes and all existing unpaid property taxes be collected at the close of escrow and paid to the Madera County Treasurer-Tax Collector.
Step 3:
The Treasurer-Tax Collector will send the amount of the taxes to be paid, if any, or the completed Tax Clearance Certificate within 5 business days of application. If taxes are to be paid and you wish to receive your Tax Clearance Certificate upon payment, your payment of all taxes including the total estimated taxes due, if applicable, must be made in cash or certified funds (cashier's check or money order).
Payments made by personal check, will result in a 14 BUSINESS DAY waiting period before our office will be able to issue the requested Tax Clearance Certificate.
