Assessment Process


Where can I go for more information about the Assessment Process?

The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) offers an abundance of information regarding current legislation and tax policy. DLGF Overview


Why does my assessment show a value for improvement when I haven't made any improvements to my property?

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.


What is a Form 11? Will I get one?

For more information on the Notice of Assessment of Land and Improvements (Form 11), please visit the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) .


If property values are decreasing, why are my assessed values rising?

What is a Ratio Study and how does it affect my assessed value?

Ratio studies are conducted to ensure uniformity and equity of assessments in a mass appraisal system. For more information, visit the DLGF.


I bought my property on a tax sale. Why is my assessment so much higher than what I paid?

Real property in Indiana is assessed at Market Value in Use. Distress sales such as tax sales, foreclosures, or short sales are typically not representative of market value.


What is meant by Property Tax Caps?

Agricultural Land Assessment

The State of Indiana provides guidance related to Agricultural Land Assessment. Base rates per acre are provided by the State and applied to each parcel. The Land Rate is then adjusted based on use (tillable, non-tillable, etc.) and recorded soil types (An, Pn, etc.). Any use that incorporates "open" ditches and/or Right-of-Way will be adjusted to a "0" value. The placement of land into a useful type of "Classified Lands" must first meet the requirements and application process of the Indiana DNR

The current Assessed Base Rate set by the State of Indiana for ALL AG Land within the State—not just your local ag land—showed an increase of 4.82% based on the sales, rental value, and income from corn. However, due to the recent passing of SB-1, AG Land was reassessed to achieve a decrease of 12% from the original 2025 value.

  • 2026: $2,120
  • 2025: $2,120**
  • 2024: $2,280
  • 2023: $1,900
  • 2022: $1,500
  • 2021: $1,290
**Due to the recent passage of Senate Bill 1, AG Land for 2025 was reassessed by the DLGF, and the new rate will be applied for the 2025 Assessment. Your Notice of Assessment (Form 11) will show the original rate value.

The Average Sale Price (ASP) per acre for agricultural land increased by 150.69% since 2020 with a 5.69% decrease projected for 2025:

  • 2025 was $17,042
  • 2024 was $18,011
  • 2023 was $12,925
  • 2022 was $9,428
  • 2021 was $8,719
  • 2020 was $6,807
    • None of these sales were connected to any Alternative Energy buy-ups but rather legitimate arms-length transactions of normal farm ground.

It is projected, based on the value increases each year since 2017, that the ASP per acre of Farm Ground, in Randolph County, could reach $25,000 by 2028.  However, this could be adjusted or affected by the lack of inventory and availability at that time.

Property Tax Assessment Appeals

If you own a property in Randolph County, you will get a Notice of Assessment (Form 11) in May of each year with exceptions placed on commercial, industrial, and AG or vacant property.  This is due to the Market Analysis of sales. You have the right to appeal the assessment if you disagree with it. However, from January 1, 2024, the last day for appeal will be June 15. Note that there is proposed legislation to impose a fee or charge for the filing of any appeal, and it will be mandatory to attach a Power of Attorney within the last two years. Also, taxpayers must provide evidence to support their appeal.

An appeal begins with completing page 1 and filing Form 130 – Taxpayer’s Notice to Initiate an Appeal with the local Assessing Official. The appeal shall detail and or have evidence attached to explain the claim that the assessed value (not the taxes) is being disputed. A taxpayer shall only appeal the TOTAL Valuation of a property, not just a portion of it. None of the following are grounds for appeal.

  • I (We) am (are) on a fixed income.  This is because it has nothing to do with the value of the property as well and 95% of all property owners have an income that is fixed.
  • The increase made me lose my deduction.  Again, no bearing on the value of the property nor is there any recourse to say that the property cannot increase because it may cause a removal of a deduction.
  • I have done nothing to cause an increase.  This is because the Market has done it for you.  You do not have to do anything to reduce the value either.
  • Nothing is selling or I can't get that for this property.  It must be noted that though it may seem to you that there have been no sales in an area to justify any increase or decrease, since 2014, the Average Sale Price (ASP) and Total Sale Price (TSP) have increased 225% with 41% increase within the last year.  Due to interest rate increases, the volume of sales has been considerably slower however, the value or Sale Price is still maintaining a 90-95% of the asking price.  The current asking price, in Randolph County, is around $160,000 with the higher end at $500,000 and as low as $29,000, based on location and condition of structure.

As assessments are based on the Sales Market Trend, Income, or if new the overall Cost of the structure, your tax increase or decrease is based on the local jurisdiction establishing a budget and taking a portion of your value to subsidize the product albeit Public Safety, Schools, Local payroll, etc.  The percentage taken or placed upon your value is the same for everyone in the taxing district.

A taxpayer may only request a review of the current year’s assessed valuation. Following an informal conference with the local assessing official, the assessor will make a recommendation either denying or approving the appeal. If denied, the appeal will be forwarded to the county Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA) for review. If the PTABOA denies the appeal, instructions will be provided on appealing the decision to the Indiana Board of Tax Review (IBTR). After being heard by the IBTR, taxpayers may also seek review by the Indiana Tax Court.

Appraisals are accepted however, are not required. If an appraisal is submitted, it must be the complete document and not just the valuation page and shall NOT be considered the final value as all appraisals are based on the scope of the appraisal set forth by the client and as such; will be reviewed following the National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices and Mass Appraisal guidelines. It must also be noted and understood that just because the bank gives the owner a copy of the appraisal if the owner is not listed as the client, the value may not be considered valid.

For an Assessor to provide the lowest of the three assessment models (Sales, Income, and Cost) If you have a Rental Property, only the submission of a CURRENTLY SIGNED LEASE will be accepted to reflect Income Value.

A taxpayer can still file an appeal concerning “objective” issues (i.e., factual matters, such as the property record card containing an incorrect description of the property, like a garage that does not exist); however, it is on page 2 of Form 130.

An objective appeal issue may include:

  1. The assessment was against the wrong person.
  2. The approval, denial, or omission of a deduction, credit, exemption, abatement, or tax cap.
  3. A clerical, mathematical, or typographical mistake.
  4. The description of the property.
  5. The legality or constitutionality of a property tax or assessment. (must show how evidence)
  6. Objective claims may be made for up to three years of assessments with the submission of Form 130 for each year. However, taxpayers requesting refunds must also file a Claim for Refund form (Form 17T) and it must be associated with an appeal from that year.

It must also be understood that when an appeal is filed, ALL aspects of the parcel will be reviewed and considered in the appeal. An appeal is NOT a guarantee that the assessed value will be reduced. This is why the presentation of evidence is crucial to your opinion of value.

**An incomplete Form 130 will not be accepted and will be returned as a defective filing.  Regardless of the option to list reasons for appeal, Randolph County requires a reason for appeal to be indicated.




Property Tax Assessment Appeals

If you own a property in Randolph County, you will get a Notice of Assessment (Form 11) in May of each year with exceptions placed on commercial, industrial, and AG or vacant property.  This is due to the Market Analysis of sales. You have the right to appeal the assessment if you disagree with it. However, from January 1, 2024, the last day for appeal will be June 15. Note that there is proposed legislation to impose a fee or charge for the filing of any appeal, and it will be mandatory to attach a Power of Attorney within the last two years. Also, taxpayers must provide evidence to support their appeal.

An appeal begins with completing page 1 and filing Form 130 – Taxpayer’s Notice to Initiate an Appeal with the local Assessing Official. The appeal shall detail and or have evidence attached to explain the claim that the assessed value (not the taxes) is being disputed. A taxpayer shall only appeal the TOTAL Valuation of a property, not just a portion of it. None of the following are grounds for appeal.

  • I (We) am (are) on a fixed income.  This is because it has nothing to do with the value of the property as well and 95% of all property owners have an income that is fixed.
  • The increase made me lose my deduction.  Again, no bearing on the value of the property nor is there any recourse to say that the property cannot increase because it may cause a removal of a deduction.
  • I have done nothing to cause an increase.  This is because the Market has done it for you.  You do not have to do anything to reduce the value either.
  • Nothing is selling or I can't get that for this property.  It must be noted that though it may seem to you that there have been no sales in an area to justify any increase or decrease, since 2014, the Average Sale Price (ASP) and Total Sale Price (TSP) have increased 225% with 41% increase within the last year.  Due to interest rate increases, the volume of sales has been considerably slower however, the value or Sale Price is still maintaining a 90-95% of the asking price.  The current asking price, in Randolph County, is around $160,000 with the higher end at $500,000 and as low as $29,000, based on location and condition of structure.

As assessments are based on the Sales Market Trend, Income, or if new the overall Cost of the structure, your tax increase or decrease is based on the local jurisdiction establishing a budget and taking a portion of your value to subsidize the product albeit Public Safety, Schools, Local payroll, etc.  The percentage taken or placed upon your value is the same for everyone in the taxing district.

A taxpayer may only request a review of the current year’s assessed valuation. Following an informal conference with the local assessing official, the assessor will make a recommendation either denying or approving the appeal. If denied, the appeal will be forwarded to the county Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA) for review. If the PTABOA denies the appeal, instructions will be provided on appealing the decision to the Indiana Board of Tax Review (IBTR). After being heard by the IBTR, taxpayers may also seek review by the Indiana Tax Court.

Appraisals are accepted however, are not required. If an appraisal is submitted, it must be the complete document and not just the valuation page and shall NOT be considered the final value as all appraisals are based on the scope of the appraisal set forth by the client and as such; will be reviewed following the National Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices and Mass Appraisal guidelines. It must also be noted and understood that just because the bank gives the owner a copy of the appraisal if the owner is not listed as the client, the value may not be considered valid.

For an Assessor to provide the lowest of the three assessment models (Sales, Income, and Cost) If you have a Rental Property, only the submission of a CURRENTLY SIGNED LEASE will be accepted to reflect Income Value.

A taxpayer can still file an appeal concerning “objective” issues (i.e., factual matters, such as the property record card containing an incorrect description of the property, like a garage that does not exist); however, it is on page 2 of Form 130.

An objective appeal issue may include:

  1. The assessment was against the wrong person.
  2. The approval, denial, or omission of a deduction, credit, exemption, abatement, or tax cap.
  3. A clerical, mathematical, or typographical mistake.
  4. The description of the property.
  5. The legality or constitutionality of a property tax or assessment. (must show how evidence)
  6. Objective claims may be made for up to three years of assessments with the submission of Form 130 for each year. However, taxpayers requesting refunds must also file a Claim for Refund form (Form 17T) and it must be associated with an appeal from that year.

It must also be understood that when an appeal is filed, ALL aspects of the parcel will be reviewed and considered in the appeal. An appeal is NOT a guarantee that the assessed value will be reduced. This is why the presentation of evidence is crucial to your opinion of value.

**An incomplete Form 130 will not be accepted and will be returned as a defective filing.  Regardless of the option to list reasons for appeal, Randolph County requires a reason for appeal to be indicated.




Real Estate Assessment

All real estate in Randolph County, totaling over 18,000 land parcels, is assessed to determine Market Value in use. As of 1 January 2011, the reassessment of real estate is performed by the Assessor's Office in a four-year cycle with 25% of the total number of parcels being assessed each year and then on a continuing cycle of every four years.

The value is then adjusted based on the Real Estate Market of a designated neighborhood so that only the sales from that neighborhood are affecting that neighborhood and not others i.e.  Farmland Sales have nothing to do with any Market Trend except Farmland and the same goes for Winchester.  Township sales are handled the same, in that they only affect that Township/Tax District.

Property owners are responsible for reporting any of the following changes made to a property, regardless of obtaining a permit:

  • new construction
  • additions to existing dwellings and/or buildings
  • removal of structures
  • changes in land use (such as adding a pond, removal of forests, etc.)
  • destruction based on fire, flood, or other disasters.

*ALL CHANGES will be effective on the 1st day of January following the change.

The County Assessor maintains a Property Record Card on every parcel of land in Randolph County. The information on the property record card includes:

  • Buildings/improvements/structures on the parcel
  • Dwelling and land information including:
    • Sketches & dimensions (exterior)
    • Dwelling type, year of construction
    • Effective Age based on any remodels, additions, etc.
  • Value calculations
  • and more

Real Estate Assessment Rules

The Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) (IN.gov) publishes the property assessment rules. Every year the State Board of Accounts in conjunction with the DLGF establishes the tax rates and levies of every political subdivision in the state.  This rate is based on the taxing unit's stated budget versus the assessed value.

The County Assessor must follow Indiana law established in the Indiana Code and the property assessment rules provided by the DLGF.

Residential Market

2025 median selling price in Randolph County - $150,000
2024 median selling price in Randolph County - $130,412
2023 median selling price in Randolph County - $121,283
2022 median selling price in Randolph County - $105,279

Median home sale prices in 2025 rose 25% over last year, with sellers receiving about 92% of asking prices—well above the 80% norm.

Recommendations:
  • Pricing Strategy: Sellers should consider listing slightly above assessed values to capitalize on strong demand.
  • Market Positioning: Realtors should emphasize urgency and scarcity in marketing to attract buyers quickly.
  • Monitoring: Regularly review the Indiana Realtors Housing Hub for trend shifts that could signal a market correction.

Indiana Board of Tax Review

The Indiana Board of Tax Review ("IBTR") is the state agency charged with deciding property tax assessment appeals. The IBTR addresses appeals contesting real and personal property assessments.

A taxpayer who disagrees with the PTABOA’s determination may petition the IBTR to review that determination. The taxpayer must file his or her petition no later than 45 days after the PTABOA gives notice of its determination. A direct appeal to the IBTR may be available if the maximum time has passed since the appeal was filed and the PTABOA has not issued a determination, or if there is an agreement to waive the PTABOA determination and appeal directly to the IBTR.

Alternative Energy

Alternative Energy

Randolph County, Indiana, has made significant strides in alternative energy production, particularly in wind and solar energy. Here's an overview of its contributions:

Wind Energy

  • Headwaters Wind Farm (Phase I): Commissioned in December 2014, this project consists of 100 Vestas V110 turbines, each with a capacity of 2 MW, totaling 200 MW.
  • Headwaters II Wind Farm: Commissioned in 2021, this phase added 49 turbines with varying capacities: 13 Vestas V136 turbines at 3.6 MW each and 36 Vestas V150 turbines at 4.2 MW each - totaling 198 MW.

Combined, these projects contribute approximately 398 MW to Indiana's wind energy capacity while taking approximately 161.56 acres out of AG production. Given that Indiana's total wind capacity was around 3,148 MW as of mid-2021, Randolph County's contribution is notable, considering a working plan of another 200 MW production in Headwaters III.

Along the northern edges of the County, there are 16 turbines from the Bluff Point Wind Project out of Jay County. These 16 turbines use up 10.72 acres of AG Land.

Solar Energy

  • Riverstart I Solar Park: Located in Randolph County, this project is the largest solar farm by capacity in Indiana, generating energy equivalent to the average consumption of more than 36,000 homes per year.
  • Riverstart III: Located south of the County Landfill between State Rd 1 and Indiana Trail Rd., is also in operation.
  • There is currently under way a Riverstart IV project along the western side of Randolph and a plan for Riverstart V north of 28.

While specific county-by-county rankings for renewable energy production in Indiana are not readily available, Randolph County's substantial contributions in both wind and solar energy position the County as a leading county in the state's alternative energy landscape.

If you have questions or seek more information than what is provided, please contact the Assessor.
