Claiming surplus funds in Porter County
Surplus from sales in Porter County is held by the county office that conducted the sale, typically the clerk, auditor, or treasurer. We confirm the holding office before anything is filed.
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.
