How Do I Know If My House Is in Foreclosure in Indiana?

Check Your Mail for Legal Notices
Indiana foreclosure begins with a court filing. You'll receive a summons and complaint by certified mail and/or personal service. If you've been ignoring certified mail or haven't been home to receive service, you may be further into the process than you realize. Check your mail immediately.
Search Indiana Court Records Online
Go to mycase.in.gov β Indiana's public court records system. Search your name or property address. If a foreclosure case has been filed, it will appear here with the case status, filing date, and upcoming hearing dates. This is the most reliable way to check your foreclosure status.
Check Marion County Recorder Records
Go to the Marion County Recorder's website and search your property address. A lis pendens (notice of pending lawsuit) recorded against your property is a strong indicator that foreclosure proceedings have begun. This is recorded when the lender files the foreclosure complaint.
Contact Your Mortgage Servicer
Call the number on your mortgage statement and ask directly: 'Has a foreclosure been filed on my account?' Your servicer is required to provide this information. Ask for the name of the law firm handling the foreclosure and the case number.
Consult a Foreclosure Attorney or HUD Counselor
If you've confirmed a foreclosure has been filed, consult an Indiana foreclosure attorney or HUD-approved housing counselor immediately. Many offer free initial consultations. Time is critical β your options narrow as the case progresses.
Indiana Foreclosure Warning Signs
The foreclosure process doesn't start overnight. Warning signs include: missed mortgage payments (3+ months is when most lenders begin the process), a Notice of Default letter from your servicer, certified mail you haven't opened, a lis pendens recorded against your property, or a knock at the door from a process server.
If you've received any of these, check mycase.in.gov immediately. The earlier you know your status, the more options you have. Homeowners who discover a foreclosure filing early have significantly better outcomes than those who discover it late.
What to Do If You Confirm Your Home Is in Foreclosure
Don't panic β but act immediately. Contact a HUD-approved housing counselor (free) or foreclosure attorney. Review the complaint for any errors (wrong loan amount, wrong property description) that could be challenged. Contact your servicer's loss mitigation department about modification or forbearance options.
