How Property Tax Liens Work in Indiana
A lien on your property doesn't have to stop a sale — but it does have to be resolved at closing. Understanding the types of liens and what happens to them helps you plan your exit.
Property tax liens (most common)
Indiana counties place a lien on properties with delinquent property taxes. Under IC § 6-1.1-24, if taxes remain unpaid, the county can eventually sell the tax lien certificate — and ultimately the property itself. Selling before that point preserves your equity.
IRS and federal tax liens
The IRS files a Notice of Federal Tax Lien when you owe back taxes. This lien attaches to all your property, including real estate. It must be satisfied or subordinated before a clean title can transfer.
Mechanic's liens
Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers can file mechanic's liens for unpaid work. These must be resolved at or before closing.
Judgment liens
Court judgments against you can become liens on your real property in Indiana. Title searches reveal all recorded liens — The title company handles identify and resolve them.
Why Indiana Homeowners with Liens Choose a Cash Sale
Under IC § 6-1.1-24, Indiana counties can sell tax lien certificates after one year of delinquency. Acting before the tax sale preserves your equity and your options.

Liens Grow — and Tax Sales Have Hard Deadlines
Delinquent property taxes accrue penalties and interest every month. Indiana's tax sale process has statutory deadlines that, once passed, significantly limit your options. Consult a real estate attorney or tax advisor for guidance specific to your situation.
