Claiming surplus funds in St. Joseph County

St. Joseph County, home to South Bend and the University of Notre Dame, follows Indiana's standard statewide tax sale process, administered locally by the County Auditor and Treasurer.

Surplus from sales in St. Joseph County is held by St. Joseph County Auditor and Treasurer, conducted via SRI, Inc., based in South Bend. 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.

County seat: South Bend
Deadline: Standard Indiana process: 1-year redemption period from the tax sale before a tax deed can issue, and a 3-year deadline to file a claim for any tax sale surplus (Ind. Code § 6-1.1-24-7).
