Indiana surplus rules

Claim window
A claim must be filed within 3 years after the county receives the surplus; after that the auditor moves it to the county general fund. The owner of record (before a tax deed issues) can file a verified claim with the auditor. If the owner redeems, the surplus goes back to the tax sale buyer, so money on a certificate still in its redemption period is not yet owner money.
Fees and assignments
An agreement to recover tax sale surplus is valid only if the fee is no more than 10% of the amount collected (unless $50 or less), it is in writing, signed by the owner, and states the surplus amount and the owner's share after the fee. Enforced by the Attorney General.
Required disclosure
Anyone acting for the owner (agent under contract, attorney-in-fact, executor or guardian) can only be paid on a court order from the court that handled the tax sale, petitioned within 3 years of the sale.

How to claim

Claims are filed directly with the county office named in the source above, usually the clerk of court, treasurer or tax collector. The county does not charge you to claim your own money. TaxLienSimple is a research platform, not a claim service: we do not file claims, take a share of what you recover or give legal advice. Check the deadline with the county before you act.
