After the sale closes and payment has been received by the Clerk of Court, and the sale has been reported to the court, the court will enter Decrees Confirming Sale, Divesting and Vesting Title which will be mailed to each winning bidder. You will receive a copy of the Decree, not the original, as it is a court order which remains in Chancery Court. You may request additional electronic or paper copies by contacting Shelby County Chancery Court. Shelby County Chancery Court does not issue deeds; the Decree includes language allowing it to function as the title transfer document. If you would like a formal deed to the property, you should consult an attorney to find out how one may be prepared. If the taxpayer files a motion with the court to redeem the property during the redemption period, a notice will be sent to you via certified mail. This notice will indicate the hearing date on the motion, and will include a copy of both the relevant statute and the motion to redeem itself. If there is no redemption, you will not receive any further documentation beyond the Decree Confirming Sale. If you are uncertain if a redemption was filed within the period, you are welcome to contact Shelby County Chancery Court to find out whether any motions have been filed on a particular property purchased.   - [Redemption](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/redemption?hsLang=en) - [Indiana Tax Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-tax-sale?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Certification](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-tax-sale?hsLang=en#certification) - [Publication](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-tax-sale?hsLang=en#publication) - [Redemption](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-tax-sale?hsLang=en#redemption) - [Indiana Commissioners' Certificate Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-commissioners-certificate-sale?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Redemption](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-commissioners-certificate-sale?hsLang=en#redemption) - [Indiana Sheriff’s Sale (Mortgage Foreclosure)](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/indiana-sheriffs-sale-mortgage-foreclosure?hsLang=en) - [Iowa Tax Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/iowa-tax-sale?hsLang=en) - [Colorado Tax Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/colorado-tax-sale?hsLang=en) - [Florida Tax Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/florida-tax-sale?hsLang=en) - [Louisiana Tax Lien Auction](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/louisiana-tax-lien-auction?hsLang=en) - [Zeus Auctions](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#online) - [In-person](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#in-person) - [Payment terms](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#payment-terms) - [Registration for Online Auction System](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#registration-for-online-auction-system) - [Registration for an online auction](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#registration-for-an-online-auction) - [Zeus login](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#zeus-login) - [Bidding](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#bidding) - [batch](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#batch) - [User Accounts](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/zeus-auctions?hsLang=en#user-accounts) - [Tennessee](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#general) - [Bidding](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#bidding) - [Redemption](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#redemption) - [Payment](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#payment) - [Advertisement / Listings](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#advertisement-listings) - [Registration](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#registration) - [Post Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/tennessee?hsLang=en#post-sale) - [Colorado Certificate Sale](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/colorado-certificate-sale?hsLang=en) - [Florida Tax Certificate Auction](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/florida-tax-certificate-auction?hsLang=en) - [General](https://help.sriservices.com/knowledge/general?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://help.sriservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Orange%20Cross.png?width=24&height=24&name=Orange%20Cross.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.sriservices.com) SRI Knowledge Base Copyright © 2026, SRI Inc
