Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Certificate stage does not clear title. After a tax deed issues, most junior private liens are cut off; federal and some governmental liens can survive.

Quiet title

Tax deed issuance has statutory notice requirements; quiet title is still often used to make title insurable for resale in Indy-metro inventory.

Deal maths for Indiana

Assessment ratio: 1× of market value
Typical quiet title: $1,500–$5,000 · 4 mo
