How Crawford County sells delinquent taxes

From lien to deed

Indiana holds no general public tax deed auction. Once the redemption period runs out, the certificate holder files a verified petition in the same court that entered the judgment of sale, and the court directs the county auditor to issue the deed. That petition must be filed no later than three months after the redemption period expires, or the purchaser's lien terminates. One narrow exception exists: real property a county, city, or town executive has certified as vacant or abandoned is auctioned separately, and there the county auditor deeds fee simple title straight to the highest bidder with no right of redemption.

When it runs
Autumn, most recently late September or October at 10:00 AM. SRI's Crawford County sale schedule lists the current tax sale as Date 10/27/2026, Time 10:00 AM, Type In-person, Location "Courtroom, 715 Judicial Plaza Drive, Room 122". The same schedule records the two prior tax sales on 09/15/2025 and 09/27/2024, both at 10:00 AM and both online.
Registration and deposit

SRI Incorporated handles bidder registration for Crawford County sales. The county's two prior tax sales ran on SRI's Zeus Auction Program at www.zeusauction.com, where an account is free, is required even to view auction listings, and must be followed by a separate three step registration for each individual auction. Zeus accepts no payments itself, so the county sets the deposit and settlement terms. Because the current sale is listed as an in person courthouse auction, confirm the registration steps and the cutoff with the Treasurer at 812-338-2651 before sale day.

Sale format and venue
SRI Incorporated administers the sale for the county, and SRI's Crawford County schedule lists the current tax sale as an in person auction in the courthouse courtroom at 715 Judicial Plaza Drive, Room 122, English, rather than an online sale. That is a change in format: SRI records the 2024 and 2025 tax sales as online auctions on the Zeus Auction Program. The county's own tax sale page still shows only the prior notice header, reading "NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE Crawford County Indiana Online - www.zeusauction.com", with no date and no parcel list attached when checked on July 29, 2026. Treat the format as unsettled and verify it with the Treasurer before you travel or wire funds. The parcel list normally appears after the statutory newspaper notice runs, and SRI lists the Clarion News as the county's notice newspaper.

Crawford County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Crawford County tax sale 2026 searches, use the county-run sources below rather than a copied parcel list, and confirm the parcel, registration cutoff, deposit, and payment deadline against the county before you bid.

  1. Get the advertised list

    Use Crawford County tax sale properties page for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    SRI Incorporated handles bidder registration for Crawford County sales. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    Autumn, most recently late September or October at 10:00 AM. The sale is live and in person; there is no online bidding platform. Confirm the venue and hour with the county office before you go.

  4. Confirm with the office

    If the list, platform, and notice disagree, use Crawford County Treasurer as the source to confirm which parcels are actually offered.

Before you bid in Crawford County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from Crawford County tax sale properties page. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    SRI Incorporated handles bidder registration for Crawford County sales. The county's two prior tax sales ran on SRI's Zeus Auction Program at www.zeusauction.com, where an account is free, is required even to view auction listings, and must be followed by a separate three step registration for each individual auction. Zeus accepts no payments itself, so the county sets the deposit and settlement terms. Because the current sale is listed as an in person courthouse auction, confirm the registration steps and the cutoff with the Treasurer at 812-338-2651 before sale day.

  3. Check the state rules that change the bid

    Read the Indiana due-diligence checklist before bidding. Redemption, liens that survive a tax deed, title cleanup, and payment deadlines can change what a parcel is worth.

  4. Set a walk-away number

    Work out what the parcel is actually worth with the rural land value estimator, then turn it into a ceiling with the tax deed max-bid calculator.

Over-the-counter (leftover) purchases

Parcels that draw no bid at the treasurer's tax sale pass to the county executive, which acquires a lien for the minimum sale price and receives a tax sale certificate. The county executive may then adopt a resolution and offer those certificates at a separate advertised public sale, often called the commissioners' certificate sale, priced below the minimum bid that failed at the tax sale. Notice runs once a week for three consecutive weeks with the final advertisement at least 30 days before the sale. This is a scheduled sale rather than a walk-in list, and redemption on a certificate bought this way is 120 days. Check the county auditor page for the next commissioners' certificate sale date.

County notes

  • Treasurer is Jennifer Jones Davis. Office hours are Monday and Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed Wednesday. Fax 812-338-3760, email treasurer@crawfordcounty.in.gov.
  • County Auditor is Wendy Marples at PO Box 316, 715 Judicial Plaza, English, IN 47118, phone 812-338-2601, fax 812-338-2507. The Auditor's office is the counterpart to the Treasurer on tax sale records and issues the tax deed after redemption expires.
  • The county's tax sale page was last modified in January 2026 and still carries only the header of an earlier notice. It is the official page to watch, but it lagged behind SRI's schedule when checked, so cross check both.
  • SRI Incorporated also runs Crawford County's sheriff foreclosure auctions online at zeusauction.com on a roughly bimonthly cycle at 1:30 PM. Those are mortgage foreclosure sales, not tax sales, so do not confuse the two calendars.
  • Commercial tax sale listing sites republish Crawford County parcels. The county page and SRI are the authoritative sources for the date, format, and parcel list.

Indiana rules

Max interest rate
15% of the amount paid maximum, as a flat statutory penalty
Minimum return
10% statutory penalty at redemption
Redemption
The standard period is one year after the date of the treasurer's tax sale. Several tracks run 120 days instead: a certificate bought at the county executive's certificate sale, a lien the county executive holds that was never sold on, a sale to a purchasing agency qualified under IC 36-7-17 or IC 36-7-17.1, a certificate the county executive assigns to another political subdivision, and a parcel that was not offered at the tax sale at all. Property on the county auditor's vacant and abandoned list carries no right of redemption after its sale. A county treasurer may also extend redemption by agreement with the owner, in which case the extended period ends one year after the date of that agreement.
Surplus proceeds
The treasurer applies the payment first to the taxes, assessments, penalties, and costs in the minimum bid, then to other delinquent property taxes, then deposits the remainder in a tax sale surplus fund. The owner of record at the time the parcel was certified for sale, or the purchaser on a redemption, may file a verified claim against that fund. Unclaimed surplus transfers to the county general fund three years after it was received.
Governing statute
IC 6-1.1-24

A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
