Indiana commissioners' certificate sale: around 2¢ on the dollar

Median winning bid at the Indiana commissioners' certificate sale (1 sale, Mar 2025) was 2¢ per $1 of county assessed value (Indiana assesses at market value), across 149 sold parcels; middle half 1¢ to 8¢. Every parcel type is included; the opening bid is only where bidding started. These bids bought tax sale certificates the owner can still redeem, not deeds.

From the auction platform's own closed-sale results. Shown only where at least 30 sold parcels carry a value. It is a screen for the county, not a price for any one property — drive the property and check title before you bid.

How Indiana tax lien sales work

Porter County runs its tax sales under Indiana state rules: it is a tax lien state with a redemption posture of 1 yr.

Tax sale certificate with a 1-year redemption. After it expires, the holder has 3 months to petition the court for a tax deed (notice must go out within 6 months of the sale).

IN is a lien state. The county treasurer sells tax sale certificates at an annual tax sale, usually in the fall. The owner has 1 year from the sale to redeem. Parcels no one bought (county-held certificates) carry a 120-day window, and parcels on the county's vacant-and-abandoned list carry no redemption at all. If the owner redeems, you get back what you paid plus a one-time 10% of the minimum bid (15% after six months), plus 5% a year on anything you bid above the minimum. It is not a yearly rate on your whole bid. If the owner does not redeem, you must send notice to the owner and every lienholder within 6 months of the sale and ask the court for the deed within 3 months after redemption ends. Miss either deadline and you lose the certificate with no refund.
