How Floyd 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
The Floyd County Treasurer's page carries the heading "2026 Tax Sale Information 10/15/2026" and states: "This year the tax sale will be completely online. Date 10/15/2026. PLEASE VISIT www.sriservices.com for additional information and to sign up to bid on the sale." Statewide, SRI Services notes that "Indiana tax sales are typically held in late August through October" and that "Sales dates are normally finalized and posted by the end of June on our corporate website."
Registration and deposit

Registration runs through the sale vendor, not the county office. The Treasurer's page directs bidders to www.sriservices.com to sign up to bid. SRI Services instructs that for online sales bidders register at https://www.zeusauction.com: create an account, log in, find the sale, select "Click to Register", and complete registration before it closes. The Zeus account form asks for first and last name, email, username, a password of at least 8 characters with a letter, a capital letter and a number, street address, city, state, ZIP, country, phone, optional fax, and a company name (private bidders enter their full name), plus agreement to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Sale format and venue
Floyd County runs an annual tax lien certificate sale under IC 6-1.1-24. The Treasurer's office announces the sale and collects delinquent payments, while the Auditor's office lists tax sale publications and records of sale, deeds, and tax sale appeals among its duties. The county contracts SRI Services to conduct the sale, and the 2026 sale is held entirely online. The Treasurer's page points bidders to www.sriservices.com; SRI's own published instructions route online sale bidding to Zeus Auction at www.zeusauction.com, so confirm the exact bidding site with the Treasurer's office before the sale date. SRI states that "Property listings are displayed on our corporate website about a month prior to the auction taking place," so the Floyd County parcel list appears shortly before the October date rather than months ahead. Owners trying to clear a tax sale eligible parcel are told they "must make your payment directly to the treasurer's office in cash using exact change or certified funds" and that online or credit card payments are not accepted. Several commercial aggregator sites publish Floyd County tax sale pages; they are not official county or vendor sources and were not relied on here.

Floyd County tax sale list and auction calendar

For Floyd 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 SRI Services property and sale list search for the current advertised parcels, then recheck it before the auction.

  2. Register to bid

    Registration runs through the sale vendor, not the county office. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

  3. Sale day

    Bidding runs on ZEUS; check posted sale dates, registration status, and bidding windows there.

  4. Confirm with the office

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

Before you bid in Floyd County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from SRI Services property and sale list search. Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Registration runs through the sale vendor, not the county office. The Treasurer's page directs bidders to www.sriservices.com to sign up to bid. SRI Services instructs that for online sales bidders register at https://www.zeusauction.com: create an account, log in, find the sale, select "Click to Register", and complete registration before it closes. The Zeus account form asks for first and last name, email, username, a password of at least 8 characters with a letter, a capital letter and a number, street address, city, state, ZIP, country, phone, optional fax, and a company name (private bidders enter their full name), plus agreement to the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

  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.

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.
