Text

(a) If, before the court issues an order
directing the county auditor to issue a tax deed to a tract or item of real
property sold under IC 6-1.1-24, it is found by the county auditor and
the county treasurer that the sale was invalid, the county auditor shall
refund:
(1) the purchase money and all taxes and special assessments on
the property paid by the purchaser, the purchaser's assigns, or the
purchaser of the certificate of sale under IC 6-1.1-24 after the tax
sale plus five percent (5%) interest per annum; and
(2) the costs described in section 2(e) of this chapter, subject to
section 2.5 of this chapter;
from the county treasury to the purchaser, the purchaser's successors or
assigns, or the purchaser of the certificate of sale under IC 6-1.1-24.
The tract or item of real property, if it is then eligible for sale under IC 6-1.1-24, shall be placed on the delinquent list as an initial offering
under IC 6-1.1-24-6.
(b) A political subdivision shall reimburse the county for interest
paid by the county under subsection (a) if:
(1) the invalidity of the sale under IC 6-1.1-24 resulted from the
failure of the political subdivision to give adequate notice of a lien
to property owners; and
(2) the existence of the lien resulted in the sale of the property
under IC 6-1.1-24.
