Where the records are
The county offices an investor deals with in Indiana County, and what each one puts online.
Deeds and mortgages
Indiana County Register and Recorder. Deeds and mortgages can be searched by name, instrument number or book and page at indiana.pa.publicsearch.us; searching the index is free, and document copies are bought through a cart.
Owners and values
Indiana County Tax Assessment Office. Countywide property data is on Courthouse Online, a third-party site that has been subscription only since August 1, 2022; owners can view their own parcel with a control number and password.
Tax sales
Indiana County Tax Claim Bureau. Upset sale registration details, surface and coal lists, and repository lists are posted free on this page, and bidding is online through GovEase.
Foreclosure sales
Indiana County Sheriff's Office. All mortgage foreclosure sheriff sales are held online on Bid4Assets.
Parcel maps
Indiana County Office of Planning and Development (Mapping). There is no public online parcel viewer; custom GIS maps showing parcels are made by request for a fee.
How property is sold here
Indiana County follows Pennsylvania's rules, with its own calendar and offices. Read the Pennsylvania guide for how the state works.
Tax sales
The Tax Claim Bureau holds its upset sale each September online through GovEase; the 2026 sale is September 18, and bidders must register at least 10 days ahead. A judicial (free and clear) sale follows, with new repository parcels added after the judicial sale in May. The repository sale is not an auction: written bids are reviewed by the County Commissioners on the fourth Tuesday of most months, and lists are posted on the Property Tax Auctions page.
Foreclosure sales
Indiana County holds all mortgage foreclosure sheriff sales virtually on Bid4Assets at bid4assets.com/IndianaCountyPASheriff. Sale dates are set by the Sheriff's Office after the writ is filed.
Assessed values
Values come from a countywide reassessment completed in 2015, and property is assessed at 100% of 2015 market value.
Transfer tax
Pennsylvania charges 1% state realty transfer tax, and Indiana County towns and school districts usually add a 1% local share, for about 2% total; tax sale buyers pay both shares on top of the bid.
Worth knowing
Indiana County separates surface and coal parcels, and the Tax Claim Bureau posts separate surface and coal sale and repository lists.
Worth knowing
Assessed values equal 2015 market value, which makes assessments a fairly good guide to price compared with many Pennsylvania counties.
Worth knowing
White Township is the only municipality in the county that does not levy a real estate tax.
