Terre Haute home sellers: tax dates, the probate office and city code enforcement
Property tax comes first in Terre Haute, because the dates are fixed. The county Treasurer says taxes are due in two equal installments, May 10 and November 10. Bills are mailed once a year, on or before April 15, and not getting one does not excuse a late payment. A USPS postmark on or before the due date counts as on time. Partial payments can be made at any time, but the full amount has to be in by the due date to avoid penalties on what is left. The Treasurer notes that who pays at a sale is usually settled at closing and points to the title company or agent to confirm.
Recording the deed
The Recorder is at 199 Oak Street, open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. Its procedures page says every document needs a statement affirming that Social Security numbers were redacted, and that a document without it is returned. For title searches the page points people to an attorney or title company. Over at 131 Oak Street, the Auditor charges $10 a parcel to convey a property and $20 per sales disclosure. The Auditor also runs the county tax sale for property three or more installments behind.
Estates
The Probate Division handles guardianships, estates and trusts. It sits on the south end of the third floor of the courthouse at 33 South Third Street, open weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed from noon to 1 p.m. The division posts an adult small estate affidavit form for estates under $100,000.
City code enforcement
Code Enforcement, at 222 South Seventh Street, was set up in 2004 to deal with trash, debris, tall grass and abandoned vehicles on private property. Complaints go through the city's 311 center. A warning allows 10 days to clean up before the owner can ask for a re-inspection with photos. After a citation, the owner can ask for a re-inspection before the court date, but the form says requests made within 48 hours of court will not be done.
A separate Building Inspection Division under the Engineering Department inspects dilapidated buildings and fire-damaged ones for condemnation. After condemnation it works with the owner to repair or demolish.
Within the city, the Harrison Township Assessor at 167 Oak Street takes the sales disclosure when a property changes hands for value.

Margaret A.
Muncie, IN
“My mother passed and left me her house in Kokomo. It needed everything — foundation issues and water damage. I live three states away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 19 days. The creative financing option got me $28K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.
Kokomo, IN
“I had a fourplex in Lafayette-West Lafayette with tenants who hadn't paid rent in 5 months. Every cash buyer I called gave me a lowball number. These guys presented four different options — I picked novation and got $28K more than the next best offer.”
Sandra D.

“Job relocation from Bloomington to Portland with 3 weeks notice. I couldn't list and wait. They had an offer in my hands the next morning and we closed before I started my new job. The creative finance option was something no other buyer even mentioned.”

Selling a house in Terre Haute, IN — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Terre Haute area?
Yes. We buy throughout the Terre Haute area and across Indiana, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in Indiana, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Terre Haute home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in Indiana?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your Indiana property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. Indiana closings are handled by title companies.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Indiana home?
No. We buy all Indiana properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in Indiana?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. Indiana has no state-level transfer tax. We cover all closing costs and title fees. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in Indiana?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout Indiana. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does Indiana's foreclosure process work?
Indiana uses judicial foreclosure through the courts, typically taking 5-12 months. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in Indiana?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so Indiana sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my Indiana house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most Indiana homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the title company. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.

Indiana has no state-level transfer tax. We cover all closing costs and title fees.
