Petition to establish schedule of fees and costs; reimbursement
Sec. 2.5. (a) A county auditor may petition a court issuing
judgments and orders for sale in the county under IC 6-1.1-24 to
establish a schedule of reasonable and customary attorney's fees and
costs that apply to a:
(1) purchaser;
(2) purchaser's assignee; or
(3) purchaser of the certificate of sale under IC 6-1.1-24;
who submits a claim for reimbursement upon redemption.
(b) When a court provides a schedule as described in subsection
(a), the county auditor may not reimburse attorney's fees and costs in
an amount higher than the attorney's fees and costs provided in the
schedule, except as provided in subsection (c).
(c) A:
(1) purchaser;
(2) purchaser's assignee; or
(3) purchaser of the certificate of sale under IC 6-1.1-24;
may petition the court for a higher rate of reimbursement than the
rate found on a schedule provided under subsection (a). The court
shall grant the petition if the court finds that the claim is based on
reasonable and customary attorney's fees and costs.
