Sec. 3. (a) When real property is eligible for sale under this
chapter, the county auditor shall post a copy of the notice required by
sections 2 and 2.2 of this chapter at a public place of posting in the
county courthouse or in another public county building at least
twenty-one (21) days before the earliest date of application for
judgment. In addition, the county auditor shall, in accordance with
IC 5-3-1-4, publish the notice required in sections 2 and 2.2 of this
chapter once each week for three (3) consecutive weeks before the
earliest date on which the application for judgment may be made.
The expenses of this publication shall be paid out of the county
general fund without prior appropriation.
(b) At least twenty-one (21) days before the application for
judgment is made, the county auditor shall mail a copy of the notice
required by sections 2 and 2.2 of this chapter by certified mail, return
receipt requested, to any mortgagee who annually requests, by
certified mail, a copy of the notice. However, the failure of the
county auditor to mail this notice or its nondelivery does not affect
the validity of the judgment and order.
(c) The advertisement published under section 4(b) of this chapter
is considered sufficient notice of the intended application for
judgment and of the sale of real property under the order of the court.
