I received an email last week from the Marion County (Indianapolis) Sheriff’s Office advising that the real estate division “is making advancements in technology” that have led to a new notice of sheriff’s sale. Click here for the form in Word that will be required beginning with the June 21, 2024 sale.
For more background on Indiana law surrounding the sale notice requirement, please review these posts:

While I’m at it, remember that the Marion County Sheriff has a great website to help parties navigate through the sale process. The staff provides virtually all the forms and information one needs, and my experience has been that the staff is always been helpful in answering questions attorneys and bidders might have. Click here for that website.
Although not all of Indiana’s 92 counties have a website as extensive as Marion County’s, many of our sheriff’s offices do in fact have a sale web page. Make sure to investigate in advance of your sale. Just as importantly, in my experience every county has a sheriff’s sale contact person willing and able to assist in preparing for a foreclosure sale. Finally, don’t forget that local rules, customs and practices control the nitty gritty of the sale process.
