The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) offers an abundance of information regarding current legislation and tax policy. DLGF Overview
The term “Improvement” refers to your house, structure, or other improvements to the raw land. These are not necessarily improvements that have been added during the current year.
For more information on the Notice of Assessment of Land and Improvements (Form 11), please visit the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) .
Please see the first paragraph on the following webpage: Tax Bill 101
If the Form 11 is mailed before May 1 of the assessment year, the filing deadline is June 15 of that year.
If the Form 11 is mailed after April 30 of the assessment year, the filing deadline is June 15 of the year tax statements are mailed.
Indiana Code reference: IC 6‑1.1‑15‑1.1
Contact your County Assessor for the status of active appeals.
Assessed values reflect market conditions and are trended annually. Actual taxes may vary based on approved tax rates, referendums, or individual property circumstances.
Assessed values fluctuate with market trends. An arm’s‑length sale is one factor used to determine market conditions and may influence future assessments.
Sales information can be obtained through this website or by visiting the Department of Local Government Finance .
You may also contact the County Assessor’s Office: Contact Us.
Sales disclosures from April 19, 1996 forward are available for non‑exempt properties. Exempt disclosures began in late 1999.
The sale may be older, exempt, or still being processed.
A physical inspection of the property is performed to ensure records are accurate. Properties in Indiana are reassessed on a four-year cycle, with one-fourth of the county reassessed each year.
For more information, visit the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) .
During reassessment, field agents from the Assessor’s Office examine and inspect the exterior of every property and may interview the property owner to obtain information about the interior of the home.
If no one is available at the time of inspection, the Assessor’s Office will proceed with an exterior inspection. This information is vital, as it helps document interior features and determine whether any changes have been made to the interior of the home.
If your business was open on the assessment date of January 1, you are required to file a Business Tangible Personal Property Assessment Return by the applicable due date.
While Indiana law does not require a final return, many taxpayers choose to notify the Assessor’s Office of this change. The Assessor has the authority to place an estimated assessment on a business believed to have failed to file a required return, so providing this information can help prevent future issues.
For general questions about recording documents, please contact the Clark County Recorder’s Office .
For zoning information, please contact the Area Plan Commission .
