How Marshall 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.

SRI's Marshall County sale calendar lists the next tax sale for September 15, 2026 at 10:00 AM, online at www.zeusauction.com.

Registration and deposit

Online through Zeus Auction. The county notice states: "registration information and the procedures you must follow to bid are available online at https://www.zeusauction.com. In order to participate, you must become a member of the auction web site (www.zeusauction.com)... Once you become a member of the auction web site, you must register for the Marshall County auction, specifically." It adds that "in order to bid in the online public auction, you must both complete IRS Form W-9 and agree to the registration statement described at IC 6-1.1-24-5.3(c) electronically, through the auction web site." Under IC 6-1.1-24-5.1, a business entity registering to bid must provide a Certificate of Existence or Foreign Registration Statement from the Secretary of State to the Marshall County Treasurer. The account form on Zeus Auction collects name, email, username and password, address, phone and company, and takes no deposit at the account-creation step. For the 2025 sale the notice set the registration window as opening August 28, 2025 at 8:00 AM and closing October 13, 2025 at 12:00 PM, and warned that an incomplete registration is not approved to bid.

Sale format and venue
The Treasurer's Office lists "Conducting Annual Real Estate Tax Sale" among its statutory duties, and the county contracts SRI Services, Inc. to run the sale on the Zeus Auction platform. The County Auditor works alongside the Treasurer on the sale: the notice says "The county auditor and county treasurer will apply on or after 09/26/2025 for a court judgment against the tracts", and both offices reserve the right to withhold a parcel from sale. The sale is an electronic sale under IC 6-1.1-24-2(b)10. For the property list the notice says "A complete property list may be obtained at www.sriservices.com or in an alternative form upon request", and the Treasurer's Office page links its "Tax Sale" entry to SRI's properties view. One caution: the Auditor's Office page still carries an older "Tax Sale" link to properties.sriservices.com, a host that no longer resolves, so use the main sriservices.com properties view instead. The notice was published once in the Pilot News and directs readers to https://www.co.marshall.in.us/ for subsequent notices. Redemption terms in the notice: 110 percent of the minimum bid if redeemed within six months of the sale, 115 percent if redeemed after six months, plus the overbid and 5 percent per annum interest on the overbid and on any subsequent taxes paid by the purchaser. The 2025 notice set the redemption expiry at October 14, 2026 for certificates sold at that sale.

For Marshall 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.

Before you bid in Marshall County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from SRI property and auction list (filter to Indiana, Marshall County). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

    Online through Zeus Auction. The county notice states: "registration information and the procedures you must follow to bid are available online at https://www.zeusauction.com. In order to participate, you must become a member of the auction web site (www.zeusauction.com)... Once you become a member of the auction web site, you must register for the Marshall County auction, specifically." It adds that "in order to bid in the online public auction, you must both complete IRS Form W-9 and agree to the registration statement described at IC 6-1.1-24-5.3(c) electronically, through the auction web site." Under IC 6-1.1-24-5.1, a business entity registering to bid must provide a Certificate of Existence or Foreign Registration Statement from the Secretary of State to the Marshall County Treasurer.

  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

  • County seat is Plymouth. The Treasurer's Office is in the Marshall County Building at 112 W Jefferson St, Room 206, open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., phone (574) 935-8520 and fax (574) 936-4863.
  • The County Auditor's Office is in the same building at 112 W Jefferson St, Room 205, phone (574) 935-8555. The Auditor issues the tax deed after the redemption period runs.
  • Address discrepancy worth noting: the 2025 tax sale notice gives the Treasurer's payment address as Room 205, while the county website lists the Treasurer at Room 206 and the Auditor at Room 205. Verify the room number with the office before mailing certified funds.
  • To pull a parcel from the sale, the 2025 notice required payment by 12:00 PM local time on the business day before the auction, in cash or certified funds payable to the Marshall County Treasurer.
  • Property research links published by the county: Beacon (Schneider Corp) for parcel data and the Data Pitstop tax information lookup at auditor.marshall.in.datapitstop.us.
  • No 2026 tax sale advertisement had been posted to the county document center as of late July 2026, which matches the prior year's pattern of publishing the notice in late August.

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.
