Indiana Code Title 36. Local Government § 36-9-25-25

Sec. 25. (a) The board shall, upon the completion of the award of damages or upon the determination of appeals taken, make out certificates for the proper amounts and in favor of the proper persons.  Upon the presentation of the certificate to the municipal fiscal officer, the person is entitled to the amount due out of the separate and specific fund derived from the sale of bonds provided in section 27 of this chapter.  The payments may not be made from other sources or funds.

(b) Certificates or vouchers shall, whenever practical, be actually tendered to the person entitled to them.  If this is impractical, they shall be kept for the persons in the office of the board.  The making and filing of the certificates constitute valid and effectual tender to the person entitled to them at the time or as soon as there is sufficient money to pay them.  They shall be delivered to the entitled person on request.

(c) In case of dispute or doubt as to which person is entitled to the money, the board shall make out the certificate in favor of the attorney appointed by the board for the use of persons entitled to it.  The attorney shall then draw the money and pay it into the court in a proceeding requiring the various claimants to interplead and have their respective rights determined.

(d) If an injunction is obtained because damages have not been paid or tendered, the board may tender the certificate for the amount with interest from the time of entry upon the property if entry has been made, plus all accrued costs.  The injunction shall then be disposed of, if there is sufficient money to pay the certificate.  The pendency of an appeal as provided in section 24 of this chapter does not affect the validity of a tender made under this section, but the board may enter upon and take possession of the property in question.
