A variance asks the board to bend the rule for your specific lot due to hardship; it is the narrowest and fastest path. A special-use permit (sometimes called conditional-use) accepts the underlying zoning but adds conditions for a specific use. A full rezone changes the district itself and requires the broadest political process.
Filing the wrong instrument is the most common cause of months-long delays. The right instrument can shorten an entitlements timeline by 60-90 days versus the wrong one.
Some IN jurisdictions give the foreclosed owner a statutory right to redeem the property within a window after the sale (often 6-12 months). Buyers at foreclosure auctions in those jurisdictions take title subject to redemption — meaning the prior owner can reclaim the property by paying the auction price plus interest. Title insurance does not cover this exposure.
A redeemed property is returned to the prior owner, not refunded with the original purchase price plus appreciation. Auction buyers in redemption-rights states need to hold capital reserves for the entire window.
Even after a clean title commitment, four issues commonly surface post-close: undisclosed easements (often utility), boundary discrepancies between deed and survey, unreleased mortgages from prior owners, and mechanic's liens filed within the lookback window. Owner's title insurance covers most of these; lender's policy alone does not.
The cost difference between owner's and lender's title insurance is one-time and small; the cost of resolving a title defect without owner's coverage is often five figures.
