The lien holder is recorded as St. Joseph County, Indiana because the unpaid tax charge is owed to the county. The actor does not invent an instrument number or a third-party holder.

FAQ

Is this a credit report?

No. This is public-record research from a county tax-sale list.

Is the minimum bid the full amount I would pay at the sale?

No. It is the county's published opening bid for the tax-sale offering. The amount actually due at sale can include additional costs, taxes or interest. Use the published county tax and pay-tax links to confirm the current payoff.

Can I search by owner?

Yes. Add one or more names to ownerNames. Partial names work, so SMITH returns every matching owner line and PROPERTIES returns business owners with that word in the name.

Are sold properties removed?

The county maintains the service. The actor returns what the service currently publishes; it does not add or infer a sale result. Re-run before relying on a parcel for a live bid.

How fresh is it?

The county's published DATEUPDATE is 2026-07-24.

Is the list a guarantee of what will be sold?

No. Sale lists change as owners pay. Confirm the status of a property with the county before bidding.
