Why does the credit bureau show a tax warrant is open and outstanding after my delinquent tax is paid?
Approximately 30 days from receipt of full payment, we will issue a satisfaction and notify the Clerk of Court to record the satisfaction. A copy of the satisfaction is sent to the debtor. Credit bureaus periodically search public records to look for tax warrants and warrant satisfactions. Occasionally, warrant satisfactions are missed by the credit bureaus. If your credit bureau report shows an open tax warrant in error, we will send you a copy of the satisfaction. It will be necessary for you to submit your information to the credit bureau and request them to correct their records.
Within approximately 30 days of receipt of full payment, the Department of Revenue notifies the Clerk of Court to satisfy a delinquent tax warrant.

If you have paid or satisfied a tax warrant in full and would like the Department to write a letter, you may call us at (608) 266-7879 or write to the Central Collection Section, P
