Claiming surplus funds in Marion County
As Indiana's most populous county and home to the state capital, Marion County runs one of the state's largest annual tax sales, a high volume of delinquent parcels means a correspondingly high volume of surplus funds sitting unclaimed with the county each year.
Surplus from sales in Marion County is held by Marion County Auditor and Treasurer, conducted via SRI, Inc., based in Indianapolis. Claims are filed with that office and, where the statute requires it, confirmed by the court.
Ind. Code § 32-30-10-14 sends mortgage-sale surplus to the court clerk for distribution as the court orders to the mortgagor, heirs or assignees. Section 32-30-10-14 sets no fixed surplus-claim deadline. Seek a court order while proceeds remain with the clerk. The absence of post-sale property redemption is a different rule.
