How Pulaski 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.

2026 Notice of Real Property Tax Sale (123 parcels, certified July 29, 2026)
When it runs
September. The county's 2026 notice reads "NOTICE OF REAL PROPERTY TAX SALE, Pulaski County Indiana, Beginning 10:00 AM Local Time, September 18, 2026, County Highway Garage 1131 N US Highway 35, Winamac, IN 46996" and adds that "Such sale will be held on 09/18/2026 at the County Highway Garage 1131 N US Highway 35, Winamac, IN 46996 and that sale will continue until all tracts and real property have been offered for sale." The notice states the auditor and treasurer "will apply on or after 09/01/2026 for a court judgment" for the order of sale. Confirm the current year's date on the Treasurer or Auditor page before planning a trip.
Registration and deposit

Register online with SRI at https://sriservices.com/. The notice reads "If you are interested in bidding on the tax sale for an Indiana county, you may register online at https://sriservices.com/. This registration is good for all counties that SRI services. You need to register only once for all counties." Print and bring the completed registration form plus a W-9 the morning of the sale, and "arrive the morning of the tax sale at least 30 minutes before the beginning time to be assured you will receive your bid number before the start of the sale." Bidders without computer access may register the morning of the sale. Under IC 6-1.1-24-5.1 a business entity must provide a Certificate of Existence or Foreign Registration Statement from the Secretary of State to the Pulaski County Treasurer.

Sale format and venue
The sale is a live, in-person auction at the County Highway Garage, 1131 N US Highway 35, Winamac, not a routine online sale. The notice preserves an online fallback: "At the discretion of local officials, the tax sale may switch to an online format. If those measures are taking place, the public auction will be conducted as an electronic sale under IC 6-1.1-24-2 (b) 10 at www.zeusauction.com commencing on the same date/time listed above. All location updates will be posted at www.sriservices.com prior to the tax sale." Treat Zeus Auction as a contingency, and check sriservices.com in the week before the sale to learn which format applies. SRI Incorporated handles bidder registration and publishes the parcel list; the notice says "A complete property list may be obtained at www.sriservices.com or in an alternative form upon request." Minimum bids are set by statute (delinquent and current taxes, penalties, a $40 postage and publication charge, other tax sale costs, and unpaid costs from a prior sale) and the notice warns they "are subject to change prior to the auction date." Redemption on a certificate sold at this sale runs 110% of the minimum bid if paid within six months of the sale date and 115% after that, plus statutory costs. The notice sets the redemption deadline as Monday, September 20, 2027 for certificates sold at the 2026 sale, and states that for certificates struck to the county the period "may expire Monday, January 18, 2027." The Auditor and Treasurer reserve the right to pull any parcel before or during the sale. The Auditor's Office issues the tax deed after redemption fails. The county also flags a publication change: "Pursuant to a change in law, this publication will appear only once in newspapers. Subsequent notices can be found at https://pulaskionline.org/."

  2. Register to bid

    Register online with SRI at https://sriservices.com/. Full requirements are in the sale card above.

Before you bid in Pulaski County

  1. Start with the live sale list

    Pull the current advertised parcels from 2026 Notice of Real Property Tax Sale (123 parcels, certified July 29, 2026). Lists can change before the sale, so recheck the county source before you price a parcel.

  2. Confirm registration and deposit

    Register online with SRI at https://sriservices.com/. The notice reads "If you are interested in bidding on the tax sale for an Indiana county, you may register online at https://sriservices.com/. This registration is good for all counties that SRI services. You need to register only once for all counties." Print and bring the completed registration form plus a W-9 the morning of the sale, and "arrive the morning of the tax sale at least 30 minutes before the beginning time to be assured you will receive your bid number before the start of the sale."

  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

  • The Treasurer's Office lists "Conducting annual real-estate-tax sale with the Auditor's Office" among its duties, and the sale notice is published on both the Treasurer and Auditor pages, so either office can answer sale questions.
  • Treasurer of record on the county site is Laura Wheeler; email treasurersoffice@pulaskicounty.in.gov. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm ET.
  • Auditor of record is Teresa Bryant, Room 110, Pulaski County Courthouse, 112 East Main Street, Winamac, IN 46996, phone 574.946.3653, fax 574.946.3928, email auditorsoffice@pulaskicounty.in.gov. The Auditor certified the 2026 delinquent list on July 29, 2026 and issues the tax deed.
  • The annual notice PDF is posted at a year-stamped path under pulaskionline.org/wp-content/uploads/, so the list URL changes each year. Reach the current file from the "TAX SALE ADVERTISEMENT" link on the Treasurer's Office or Auditor's Office page rather than bookmarking the PDF.
  • The county's notice PDF is a scan with no text layer, so the parcel list is not machine-readable. The searchable version of the same data is SRI's property search, reachable from sriservices.com.
  • Defenses to the judgment application are filed with the Pulaski County Circuit Court and served on the Auditor and Treasurer before the judgment application date (09/01/2026 for the 2026 sale); the court sets a hearing at least seven days before the advertised 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.
