Statutory terms are inherited from Indiana. 110% of minimum bid if redeemed within 6 months, 115% if 6-12 months; plus 5%/yr on the overbid and on subsequently-paid taxes Return is a fixed 10%/15% penalty on the minimum bid — the surplus (overbid) earns only 5%/yr, so overbidding heavily dilutes yield.
