Office identity explained

Indiana State Auditor or State Comptroller?

Both phrases point to the same statewide constitutional function. Indiana’s official website now uses the title State Comptroller, while explaining that the Comptroller fulfills the duties of the constitutional Office of State Auditor.

Use “State Comptroller” when
  • Contacting the current office
  • Searching official Indiana webpages
  • Emailing payroll or Accounts Payable
  • Looking for current reports
  • Submitting a new public-information request
You may still see “Auditor of State” on
  • Older forms and policy PDFs
  • Archived reports
  • Constitutional or statutory references
  • Older email addresses
  • Search-engine results and historical records
Practical rule: Follow the current live contact page when an older PDF and the current website display different branding or email addresses.

The official About page identifies Elise M. Nieshalla as the Indiana State Comptroller and explains that the office continues the constitutional State Auditor duties.

Indiana Transparency Portal

Search salaries, spending, vendors and state assets

The Indiana Transparency Portal is the best first step for many public financial-data questions. Search online before filing a records request because the published dashboards may already provide the answer and downloadable dataset.

Use every dashboard with this six-step method

Choose the correct data category Select Finances, State Employees, Vendors, Contracts, Assets or another subject before entering a name.
Check the fiscal year Indiana’s state fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30. A calendar-year assumption can produce the wrong result.
Apply one filter at a time Begin with agency, vendor, employee or funding source, then add a second filter only when the results remain broad.
Read the field labels Distinguish expenditure amount, acquisition cost, annualized salary, transaction date, fiscal year and journal date.
Check the Last Updated field A recently processed payment or payroll change may not appear until the next data refresh.
Download data for deeper research Use the Indiana Data Hub link when the dashboard summary does not show every row or field.

State employee salary search

You know the employee name Search the employee salary tool and verify the employing agency before using the result.
You know only the agency Filter the headcount or salary dashboard by agency and department.
You need actual payroll records An annualized salary may differ from actual gross pay because of start dates, overtime, leave, deductions or employment changes.
You need job title or work location The public-record policy says human-resources fields such as title, work location, position and promotion status belong to the State Personnel Department.

Vendor-payment search

Open the Vendor Dashboard Use the vendor tool for payments associated with state agencies.
Select the fiscal year A payment posted near July 1 may fall in a different fiscal year than expected.
Search the legal vendor name Try the registered company name, parent company or alternate legal spelling.
Filter by agency This helps distinguish payments to the same vendor from different departments.
Review the transaction fields Note voucher, journal, account, funding source and posting information where available.
Contact Accounts Payable for a missing payment The dashboard is a transparency tool; Accounts Payable handles payment-status and vendor-file issues.

Indiana public-information request

Request a Comptroller record that is not online

Search the Transparency Portal and published reports first. When the record is not available online, submit a written request that identifies an existing record with enough detail for staff to locate it.

Public-record request micro steps

Confirm the Comptroller owns the record Payroll, state accounting, state payment and Comptroller correspondence may belong here. Tax returns, agency personnel files and county property records belong elsewhere.
Describe the record—not a question Ask for identifiable documents, data, correspondence, payment records or reports rather than asking staff to conduct research or explain policy.
Add a precise date range Include beginning and ending dates, fiscal year or payment period.
Name the agency, vendor, employee or fund Include alternative legal names, vendor IDs, voucher numbers or other identifiers where available.
Specify the fields or payment type State whether you need vendor payments, payroll transactions, correspondence, warrants, account codes or another record category.
Request electronic delivery The published policy says electronically available records are provided without charge. Paper-copy charges may apply when the original record is paper.
Email the current Comptroller address Send the request to Comments@comptroller.in.gov with the subject “Public Records Request.”
Keep the sent email and response A later expansion may be treated as a separate new request.

Electronic delivery in [PDF, CSV or native format] is preferred. My contact information is [name, email and phone].”

Paper and microfiche inspection

The public-information policy says original paper records may be reviewed during regular office hours but cannot be removed from the premises. Some older records may be maintained on microfiche, so users should coordinate a time to use the on-site reader.

Old-email warning: The February 2023 policy PDF still lists older Auditor branding and `comments@auditor.in.gov`. The current live Comptroller contact page directs public-information requests to Comments@comptroller.in.gov. Use the current address.

Accounts Payable help

Resolve a vendor payment, 1099 or lost state warrant

Terminology: A “state warrant” in Accounts Payable is a state payment instrument similar to a check. It does not mean an arrest warrant.

Replace an IRS Form 1099
Replace a lost or unreceived state warrant

Prepare before emailing Payables

Confirm the paying state agency The agency normally initiates the voucher before the Comptroller processes payment.
Collect the vendor identifiers Prepare the legal vendor name, Vendor ID, invoice number and tax identification details where appropriate.
Collect the payment identifiers Include voucher number, warrant number, amount, date and agency contact.
Check the Transparency Portal Search vendor expenditures to see whether a payment record is already visible.
Ask the agency whether it submitted approval The Comptroller cannot finish a payment that has not completed the agency’s approval process.
Email Payables with one complete issue State whether you need status, reissue, 1099 replacement, vendor setup or banking assistance.
Published processing expectation: Under normal operating conditions, the Comptroller says voucher approvals and vendor updates are processed within 10 business days after agency submission. That period does not necessarily begin when the vendor first submits an invoice to an agency.
Vendor-payment email structure “I am requesting assistance with a State of Indiana payment for [legal vendor name], Vendor ID [number]. The paying agency is [agency], invoice [number], voucher or warrant [number], amount [$], and expected payment date [date].

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.

Homestead: $29,000 Enhanced Vet: $58,000 OAGI limit: $41,000 Assessment: 35% of market BOR filing: Free · DTE 1

Annual Tax Bill Estimator

Pick a county tier and enter your market value.

Homestead Reduction Calculator

DTE 105A

2026 Ohio Homestead: $29,000 general or $58,000 enhanced (100% disabled vet, KIA spouse). OAGI under $41,000 required for non-veteran applicants.

Pick your situation and enter your home value.

Owner-Occupancy & Non-Business Credits

Enter your annual tax to see both credit amounts.

Conveyance Fee Calculator

ORC 322

When 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.

Enter sale price and pick your county rate.

CAUV Agricultural Savings

DTE 109

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value cuts taxable value dramatically for farmland (10+ acres, or smaller with $2,500+ annual gross income).

Enter both market and CAUV values to see savings.

Mill Rate Converter

Ohio tax rates appear three ways on auditor sites: mills, percent, or dollars per $1,000. Convert between them instantly.

Enter a rate to see all three forms.

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.

Paste any Ohio county parcel to format it.

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.

Enter both values to compare against Ohio's 35% target.

BOR Appeal Savings

DTE 1

A successful Board of Revision complaint typically cuts your value 10–20%. Filing is free and stays in effect until the next reappraisal.

Enter your tax bill and reduction estimate.

BOR Deadline Countdown

MAR 31

Ohio'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.

Set your deadline to start the countdown.

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:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

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. Nothing here is legal or tax advice. CountyAuditors.org is an independent informational directory, not affiliated with any county government.
