Questions
Can anyone buy a government home in Indiana?
Yes. Treasury and IRS auctions are open to the public (Treasury needs a deposit and online registration). USDA REO homes are bought through a real estate agent; USDA foreclosure sales are run by a trustee. Each listing's official page has the terms.
Is Indiana a tax lien or a tax deed state?
Indiana is a lien state. The maximum rate set by law is 10% of the minimum bid if redeemed in 6 months, 15% after. Rules differ by county: check the county's own page before a sale.
Information only, not investment, legal or tax advice. Listings come from the agencies' own pages and can change or be withdrawn at any time: always verify with the agency or county before you bid or buy.
