James A. Crowe, et ux. v. Savvy IN, LLC
Paid petition · Supreme Court of Indiana, No. 23S-TP-00090 · judgment October 11, 2023
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Question presented
I. During the COVID-19 pandemic under the United States Postal Service’s altered signature accountable mail policy to accommodate health concerns, when the return mail receipt is returned to the tax sale purchaser with only notations by a mail carrier and/or a line through the signature block, the mail carriers failed to follow the altered signature protocol, and follow-up first class notices were returned, does due process require the tax sale purchaser to make additional efforts to notify the owner before the state can issue a tax deed?
