How Indiana tax sales work

Sale Type
Tax Lien Certificate
Indiana sells tax lien certificates. The investor pays the delinquent taxes and receives a certificate that earns the interest or penalty set by state law. If the owner does not redeem, the holder must take the further steps state law sets to get the deed.
Redemption Period
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).
Avg Property Tax Rate
0.85%
Near the national average (1.1%).
Homestead Rules
Special Rules Apply
Standard deduction and supplemental available.

Words used on this page

Redemption period
A window after the sale when the old owner can pay up and take the property back.
Opening bid
Where bidding starts. It is not a price or a value. Often it is just the tax owed.
Tax lien
The county sells the unpaid tax debt, not the property. You collect interest, or later foreclose.

Before you bid in Indiana

What can survive the sale and become yours

  • IRS federal tax liens (120-day federal right to redeem)
  • Sewer, stormwater and nuisance charges billed after the sale

Other things to check

  • Indiana 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.

How we rate these

Every listing says one of four things. Next to it is how many facts we hold for it, and what that much evidence is good enough for.

Worth a look
We hold the four basics (what is being sold, when, for how much, and what the property is) and nothing we hold argues against it. A claim about our record, not a promise about the property.
Needs review
We hold the basics, but a named finding wants a human first: a possible lien under the owner's name, a flood or environmental record, no mapped public road, a property check that fired, an opening bid at or above the value we hold for the parcel, or a sale the county reports as postponed.
Screened out
We hold positive evidence of a problem: recorded debt or an IRS lien that survives the sale, a lot too small to be a real parcel, a sale the county reports as over, or a sale date already past. The card names it.
Not enough data yet
One of the four basics is missing. This is not a bad rating: missing data can never produce a negative verdict.
N of 12 facts on file
How many of the 12 facts we track for this parcel we actually hold: sale kind, auction date, entry price, property class, value, lot size, living area, legal description, road access, title search, condition, sale terms. The same count on the board, the deal page and in Flexy. Hover the bar on any card to see which are still missing.

One number cannot say both how good a parcel looks and how much we actually know about it, and a low number reads as a verdict. So we do not print one. “Not enough data yet” is not a judgement about the property.
