THE PENALTY BASE IS THE MINIMUM BID, NOT YOUR BID. 110%/115% under IC 6-1.1-25-2 is computed on the minimum bid; the amount you paid above it earns only 5% per annum, and only for sales after 2014-06-30. Indiana sells by premium bidding, so on any competitive parcel the modelled tier overstates the return — a $1,200 minimum taken at $6,000 returns 10% on $1,200 and 5%/yr on $4,800, not 10% on $6,000. Treat the computed penalty as a ceiling until the type carries a penalty base.
THREE REDEMPTION REGIMES AND THIS ROW ENCODES ONE. IC 6-1.1-25-4(a): one year at an ordinary county tax sale; 120 days where the county executive holds the lien and the certificate went unsold, or on sale to a qualified purchasing agency; and NO redemption at all for a parcel on the county auditor's vacant-and-abandoned list under IC 6-1.1-24-1.5. Establish which applies before trusting the hold period — a vacant-and-abandoned parcel is effectively a deed sale.
Redemption also repays every subsequent tax, special assessment, interest, penalty and fee the purchaser paid after the sale, so carrying taxes during the redemption year is recoverable rather than sunk — but only if the parcel is in fact redeemed.
Commissioners' certificate sales under IC 6-1.1-24-6.1 sell previously unsold parcels at a discounted minimum bid set by the county executive, advertised three consecutive weeks at least thirty days ahead. Cheaper entry, 120-day redemption, and generally the parcels nobody wanted at the regular sale.
A tax deed is not a marketable title. After redemption lapses the purchaser must petition the court under IC 6-1.1-25-4.6, having given the notices required by IC 6-1.1-25-4.5; defective notice is the usual ground on which an Indiana tax deed is later attacked.
If the parcel sells above the minimum bid and is NOT redeemed, the former owner may claim the tax sale surplus. That money is not the purchaser's and should never be modelled as recoverable.
quietTitle costs here are a placeholder and have not been reviewed by the operator. Do not rely on a computed Indiana max bid until they are set.

Nothing left to show

Every parcel in this sale is hidden: 105 land-only. Land-only means no street address, a house number of zero, or a street with no number; withdrawn parcels are no longer on offer.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Indiana assesses at 100% of true tax value (assessed value has equalled 100% of true tax value since the 2001 assessment year), so the statutory ratio is 1.0. Open a parcel to run the full max-bid analysis, which accounts for the assessment ratio, surviving liens, quiet title, and holding costs.
