Find the Right Parcel, Tax Record or Map
Search Indianapolis and Marion County property records by address, owner name, 7-digit county parcel number, or 18-digit Indiana state parcel number. Then review the assessed value, land, improvements, tax district, legal-description clues, and mapped location.
This guide also explains an important Indiana distinction: the Assessor controls property cards and values, the Auditor handles deductions and tax accounting, the Treasurer collects taxes, and the Recorder maintains deeds and other recorded documents.
Quick answer: where should you start?
Start with the official Marion County Assessor Property Cards application. Search by address, owner, 7-digit county parcel number, or 18-digit state parcel number. Open the correct report card, save both parcel numbers, and then move to the tax, map, deduction, deed, or appeal tool matching your task.
Current Marion County property facts
The property-card application lists four separate search methods. Choose the method matching the information already in your possession instead of entering unrelated details into several systems.

Appeal a Marion County assessment correctly
Choose the correct Form 130 issue
Use this when you believe the assessed value does not reflect the property’s correct market value.
- Recent sale of the property
- Comparable-property sales
- Licensed appraisal
- Income and expense evidence for income property
- Condition or functional-obsolescence evidence
Use this for factual, clerical, deduction, credit, exemption, or property-description issues.

Evidence checklist
Check Homestead and other property deductions
Search the property’s current deductions before filing another application. Verify the parcel and individual condominium or multi-unit address so you do not review a building-wide or neighboring record.

Marion County property search FAQs
What is the official Marion County property search?
Use the official Marion County Assessor Property Cards application. It supports a 7-digit county parcel number, an 18-digit state parcel number, an owner name, or a property address.
Does the Marion County Auditor determine property value?
No. The Marion County Assessor maintains property records and assessed values. The Auditor handles deductions, tax accounting, corrections, and related real-estate administration.
How do I search Marion County property by owner name?
Enter all or part of the owner name. Begin with the surname or the most distinctive part of a trust, estate, LLC, or business name, then add more information only when the results are too broad.
What parcel-number formats does Marion County use?
The property-card tool accepts a 7-digit county parcel number or an 18-digit Indiana state parcel number beginning with 49. The state number may also appear in a hyphenated format.

10 Ohio Property Tax Calculators & Auditor Tools
Built specifically for Ohio's 35% assessment ratio, current DTE forms, and 2026 Homestead, Owner-Occupancy, CAUV, Conveyance Fee, and Board of Revision rules. Every number reflects verified Ohio Department of Taxation amounts.
Annual Tax Bill Estimator
OHIOApplies Ohio's 35% assessment ratio plus your county's effective millage tier — the actual math your auditor uses.
Homestead Reduction Calculator
DTE 105A2026 Ohio Homestead: $29,000 general or $58,000 enhanced (100% disabled vet, KIA spouse). OAGI under $41,000 required for non-veteran applicants.
Owner-Occupancy & Non-Business Credits
DTE 105CEvery Ohio owner-occupied home qualifies for the 2.5% Owner-Occupancy Credit plus the automatic 10% Non-Business Credit. Most owners don't realize these stack.
Conveyance Fee Calculator
ORC 322When you sell or transfer Ohio property, the auditor collects $1 state + up to $3 county per $1,000, plus $0.50 per parcel. Counties choose their rate.
CAUV Agricultural Savings
DTE 109Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value cuts taxable value dramatically for farmland (10+ acres, or smaller with $2,500+ annual gross income).
Mill Rate Converter
Ohio tax rates appear three ways on auditor sites: mills, percent, or dollars per $1,000. Convert between them instantly.
Parcel Number Cleaner
Ohio's 88 counties each format parcels differently — Franklin uses 010-123456-00, Cuyahoga uses 001-23-456, Hamilton uses 100-0001-0001-00. Auto-detects.
35% Ratio Sanity Check
Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market value. If yours is significantly higher, you're a strong BOR appeal candidate.
BOR Appeal Savings
DTE 1A successful Board of Revision complaint typically cuts your value 10–20%. Filing is free and stays in effect until the next reappraisal.
BOR Deadline Countdown
MAR 31Ohio's statutory Board of Revision filing deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year. Miss it and you wait until next year — no extensions.
Verify with the official Ohio source
These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:
Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
