State gains land title through forfeiture merges tax liens
The Indiana state practice of acquiring title to lands by forfeiture or other means merges the taxes assessed against the property. Taxes are a lien and merge when the state or its agents acquire title. The state levies and enforces payment, with boards of commissioners auditors and treasurers acting as its agents, but this does not keep tax liens alive after the state obtains fee simple title.
