Platform

Gibson County Chancery Court Clerk & Master — delinquent tax sale ↗

Deposit rules

Chancery/Clerk & Master sale rules — deposit and balance deadlines set in the sale notice/order (typically certified funds day of sale). Obtain bidder instructions from the Clerk & Master's Office before sale day. Sale incomplete until Order Confirming Sale; properties subject to statutory redemption after confirmation.

Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Judicial tax sale subject to redemption. After confirmation and redemption expire, most junior private liens are cut off; federal liens can survive. Full title search mandatory.

Quiet title

Court confirmation helps, but quiet title is still commonly used when insurers want additional comfort.
