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 Notice of Assessment is mailed before May 1, the filing deadline is June 15 of that year.
If the Form 11 is mailed after April 30, 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 locally approved tax rates, referendums, or individual property circumstances.
Assessed values fluctuate with the market. An arm’s‑length sale is one factor used to determine market trends and may influence future assessed values.
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 inspect the exterior of every property and may interview the property owner to obtain information about interior features.
If no one is available, an exterior inspection will be completed. This information helps ensure accurate and fair assessments.
If your business was open on January 1, you must file a Business Tangible Personal Property Assessment Return by the applicable due date.
While Indiana law does not require a final return, notifying the Assessor’s Office can help prevent estimated assessments from being applied.

IC 6-1.1-15-1.1
As a result of legislation passed in 2017, significant changes were made to the appeal process. Taxpayers wishing to contest the assessed value of property may do so by submitting a Form 130 prescribed by the State to the County Assessor's office. The Form 133, which was previously used to contest assessments on objective grounds, has been eliminated. Taxpayers wishing to contest their assessment on objective grounds (for example, a garage that has been removed or too much square footage) should complete and submit page 1 & Section III, page 2 of the Form 130.
The appeal deadline is June 15, 2023.

During a field inspection, personnel will attempt to identify his/herself to the property owner and explain their purpose for the visit.

When the inspection is complete, a business card will be left to inform the taxpayer that we were there. Photographs will also be taken during all inspections.
Each reassessment field inspector wears an ID badge and an identifying shirt or jacket. If a taxpayer is uncertain about the identity of a representative, please contact the Posey County Assessor's Office for verification (812) 838-1309.
