Effective immediately, we have revised our Indiana tax sale requirements. You will recall, that previous underwriting guidelines required a quiet title action if a tax deed was found within the past 10 years. One of the basic changes in our new guidelines is a reduction in the time frame after execution of a tax deed from 10 years to 3 years. After 3 years have passed since the execution of the tax deed, we will no longer require a quiet title to insure the tax sale.
 
−
 
−
Additionally, we have eliminated the quiet title requirement within the 3 years period when presented with a smaller liability owner’s policy from another underwriter if substantial improvements have been made to the property. Note: use of the substantial improvements option requires underwriter approval.
