Indiana Tax Sale Questions
How much do I earn if an Indiana property is redeemed?▾
Redemption pays a flat 110% of the minimum bid within the first six months, or 115% in months seven through twelve. Because it is a flat penalty rather than annual interest, a fast redemption produces a very high effective yield. The overbid you paid earns a separate 5% per year.
How long is the redemption period in Indiana?▾
One year from the date of sale for most property. Certain parcels the county acquired and resold, and some vacant or abandoned properties, carry a shorter 120-day redemption window.
Do I get the property when I win an Indiana tax sale?▾
No. You receive a tax-sale certificate, not the deed. If the owner does not redeem within the period, you must serve statutory notice and petition a court for a tax deed before ownership transfers.
What is the "overbid" in an Indiana tax sale?▾
It is the amount you bid above the minimum of taxes, penalties, and costs. It is refunded to the owner if they redeem, but earns you 5% per year. Keeping it low protects your return, since the redemption penalty is calculated only on the minimum bid.
