Property Title Searches in Indiana (IN)
Indiana, known as the Hoosier State, is the 17th most populous state with nearly seven million residents. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis. Indiana hosts many major sporting events such as the Indianapolis 500, drawing in crowds of tourists each year.
Why is a Property Title Search Necessary in Indiana?
A property title search is necessary to ensure there are no clouds on the title, and to identify all liens on the property. Existing liens such as code enforcement liens as well as delinquent taxes will attach to the property. This means that even after the property has been sold, the debt will become the new owner’s responsibility.

How to Complete a Property Title Search in Indiana
- Locate the real estate on the assessor’s page and obtain the assessed value, parcel number and other pertinent information.
- Review the tax status from the county tax collector to determine if the taxes are paid, due or delinquent.
