Will Credit Bureaus Be Notified Of My Delinquent Taxes?
Neither Springfield nor Revenue Services plan to notify credit-reporting agencies of your delinquent taxes. However, tax title accounts, Registry of Deed records and Land Court filings are public records and as such are available for review and reporting by credit-reporting agencies.
What Is The Interest Rate On My Tax Title Account?
The current interest rate is 16%.
What If I Filed For Bankruptcy Protection?
If you have filed bankruptcy, please notify Revenue Services immediately. Revenue Services will comply with all applicable bankruptcy laws, including the “automatic stay” provision.

Where Do I Obtain Tax Title Information?
The City of Springfield website contains the years and the amounts. If the lien has been referred to a law firm for foreclosure the balance provided by the City of Springfield does not include legal fees and costs incurred by the City. These fees and costs must be paid before the account will be considered paid in full and a release issued.
