Tax sales

If a certificate is not redeemed, the holder can apply for a tax deed, and the Clerk of Court auctions the property online at indianriver.realtaxdeed.com after advertising it once a week for four weeks. Winning tax deed bidders must post a 5% or $200 deposit and pay the balance by 10:00 AM the next business day.
Foreclosure sales
