What happens when Marion County property taxes become delinquent?
Tax certificate vs tax deed: what Marion County property owners should know
The certificate sale lets the county collect delinquent taxes. Investors bid interest rates beginning at 18% and moving downward. The winning bidder holds a lien certificate, not ownership.
If a tax certificate is not redeemed within two years, the certificate holder may file a tax deed application. In Marion County, tax deed sales are processed through the Clerk of Court website.
