Hendricks County tax sales, transfer filing, and property records
A county tax sale for unpaid property taxes is separate from a mortgage foreclosure. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court and may lead to a sheriff’s sale. The Hendricks County Treasurer provides county tax-sale information. For the mortgage-foreclosure process, see our Plainfield foreclosure page.
Indiana’s property-transfer filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. The county Auditor receives the filing for property-tax records; deed recording and other closing charges are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Ask the Hendricks County Auditor about the county filing.
