What is the Ohio property tax assessment ratio?

Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market (true) value statewide, under Ohio Revised Code §5713.03. Your county auditor must use this ratio when calculating your tax bill.

How much is the Ohio Homestead Reduction in 2026?

For tax year 2026, the general Homestead Reduction shields $29,000 of market value for qualifying owners age 65+, totally disabled, or surviving spouses age 59+ with Ohio Adjusted Gross Income under $41,000. The enhanced amount for 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty is $58,000 with no income limit. File DTE Form 105A with your county auditor.

When is the Ohio Board of Revision deadline?

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision (BOR) complaint deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year, per ORC §5715.19. Complaints are filed using DTE Form 1 with your county auditor at no cost. Late filings are rejected except in very narrow clerical-error circumstances.

How much is the Ohio real property conveyance fee?

Ohio's conveyance fee has two parts: a mandatory $1.00 per $1,000 state fee (ORC §319.54(F)(3)) and a permissive county levy of up to $3.00 per $1,000 (ORC §322.02). Most Ohio counties charge the full $4.00 per $1,000. A separate $0.50 transfer fee applies per parcel. Filed using DTE Form 100 at the auditor's office at closing.

Who qualifies for Ohio's CAUV agricultural tax break?

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program lets actively farmed land be taxed on its agricultural value rather than its market value. Eligibility requires 10+ acres devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture, or smaller parcels with $2,500+ in gross annual income from agriculture. Apply using DTE Form 109 and renew annually with DTE 109A. Removing land from CAUV triggers recoupment of three years of saved taxes under ORC §5713.34.

Find the Right Indiana Property and Tax Record

Search Indiana property-tax records, assessed values and county parcel systems without assuming that one office controls every record. The county auditor, assessor, treasurer and recorder each handle a different part of the property process.

This guide explains where to start, what to type, how to fix a missing result, how to read the tax bill, which 2026 deadlines matter, and which county office can actually complete your next task.

Indiana property records are divided among several offices. Do not assume an “auditor search” controls assessed value, tax payments, deeds and maps. Identify the parcel first, then contact the office responsible for the specific record or action.

Quick answer: where should you start?

Use the Indiana DLGF Tax Bill Search when you need statewide county-reported tax history. Use the Assessed Value Search for gross assessed value. Use the local county GIS or property portal for current parcel details, and then contact the auditor, assessor, treasurer or recorder based on the task.

1 Choose the county Indiana records are maintained county by county.

2 Search broadly Start with a partial name or simple address.

3 Verify the parcel Match parcel number, address and owner.

4 Use the correct office Value, tax, deduction and deed tasks differ.

Avoid the wrong office

Auditor, assessor, treasurer or recorder?

Indiana divides property duties differently from states where the auditor is also the primary real-estate appraiser. Use this table before calling or opening a county portal.

Correct Indiana county office for each property task
Office	Main responsibilities	Contact this office when	Do not use it for
County Auditor	Tax duplicate, transfer and plat records, deductions, credits, tax distributions and parts of tax-sale administration.	A deduction is missing, ownership or mailing data needs review, a transfer is processing or a tax figure needs verification.	Setting the property’s assessed value or posting a payment.
County or Township Assessor	Discovers, lists and values real and business personal property.	Square footage, condition, land class or assessed value appears wrong, or you need to file an appeal.	Collecting the property-tax bill.
County Treasurer	Issues, collects and posts property-tax payments and manages delinquent balances.	You need the amount due, a receipt, payment status, penalty calculation or accepted payment method.	Changing assessed value or deciding deduction eligibility.
County Recorder	Records deeds, mortgages, liens, releases, easements, plats and other land documents.	You need the actual deed, mortgage, lien, release or certified recorded copy.	Confirming the current tax balance.
County GIS or Surveyor	Parcel maps, aerial imagery, local layers, drainage or survey-related information.	You need to locate a parcel or understand its geographic context.	Providing a guaranteed legal boundary without a survey.
Indiana DLGF	Property-tax rules, statewide data, county budget orders, forms, assessment oversight and taxpayer guidance.	You need statewide databases, forms, county reports or general property-tax guidance.	Posting a local payment or correcting a county parcel directly.

Fastest workflow: Identify the county and parcel, save the parcel or duplicate number, and then contact the office that controls the exact action.

Statewide official databases

Search Indiana tax bills and assessed values

Use the Tax Bill Search for county-reported tax information

Open the official DLGF Tax Bill Search Use the state page rather than a third-party property-record website.

Select the correct county Property records and formatting vary because each county supplies its own data.

Select the year you need Use the appropriate payable year when reviewing an old tax bill or comparison.

Search with one broad detail Start with part of the last name or a simple street address.

Open the matching record Compare the owner, address, parcel information, assessed value and tax figures.

Verify questionable data locally The state displays county-reported information and directs users to the county auditor when a figure appears inaccurate.

Use the Assessed Value Search for gross assessed value

Select the county and assessment year Remember that Indiana taxes are paid in arrears, so an assessment year generally supports the following payable-year bill.

Search by owner or address Use partial information when the complete legal name or address does not match.

Open Details Review the individual property record rather than only the search-result row.

Find Total Land and Improvements The state identifies this line as the property’s gross assessed value equivalent.

Download only when useful Use the spreadsheet export for legitimate analysis, not to replace current county verification.

Statewide search trick: For “123 North Main Street,” try “123 Main.” For an owner, try only part of the last name. One extra direction, suffix or spelling difference can prevent a match.

Search past Indiana tax bills Search assessed values

Local county lookup

Search the county parcel or GIS system

Local county systems often contain more current parcel details than the statewide historical databases. County portals may use Beacon, Elevate, WTH, GIS, Low Tax Info, Engage, XSoft or another local vendor.

Search by owner

Enter the last name first.
Add the first name only if too many results appear.
Try initials, maiden names and spelling variations.
For an LLC, trust or estate, use the most distinctive word.
Try the former owner after a recent sale.

Example: JOHNSON

Search by address

Begin with the house number and street name.
Remove North, South, East or West.
Remove Street, Road, Avenue or Drive.
Leave out apartment, unit and punctuation.
Search only the road name for vacant land.

Example: 245 MAIN

Search by parcel or duplicate

Copy the number from a tax bill or prior record.
Enter it exactly first.
Remove dashes, dots or spaces if necessary.
Do not confuse parcel number with duplicate number.
Verify the address before paying.

Usually the most precise route

Verify the property before using the result

County name

Parcel or property number

Duplicate number, when shown

Physical property address

Owner name exactly as displayed

Township and taxing district

Property-record decoder

Understand what the property record shows

Common Indiana property-record fields explained
Field	What it means	What to verify next
Parcel number	The identifier connected with the real-estate parcel.	Use it across GIS, assessor, auditor and recorder questions.
Duplicate number	A tax-billing identifier used by some counties.	Use it when the treasurer portal specifically asks for it.
Owner name	The ownership name currently displayed in the county record.	Check the recorded deed for legal ownership evidence.
Property address	The situs or physical location associated with the parcel.	Compare it with GIS and the legal description.
Gross assessed value	The total assessed value before deductions.	Compare with Form 11 and the TS-1 tax statement.
Net assessed value	Assessed value remaining after applicable deductions.	Review deduction details when the number is unexpected.
Taxing district	The combination of local government units whose rates apply.	Use the exact district in any tax calculator.
Land and improvements	Separate value components for land and buildings.	Ask the assessor about incorrect acreage, structures or condition.
Transfer or sale	Recorded ownership-transfer or sales-disclosure information.	Use the recorder for the deed and review whether the sale was market-based.
Special assessment	A separate charge for a ditch, sewer, improvement or other purpose.	Ask the listed county office which project created the charge.

Assessment-year warning: Indiana property taxes are paid in arrears. An assessed value from one year generally supports the property-tax bill payable in the following year.

Current 2026 deadlines

Indiana property-tax due dates and penalties

Spring installment May 11, 2026

This deadline has passed.

Fall installment November 10, 2026

Verify the county balance before paying.

Payment office County Treasurer

The treasurer receives and posts payment.

If the May installment was not paid

Do not use the original bill amount automatically Contact the county treasurer for the current balance.

Ask whether a mortgage company paid Confirm escrow status before creating a duplicate payment.

Ask which penalty applies The lower 5% penalty generally depends on payment within 30 days and no earlier delinquent installment on the same parcel.

Confirm accepted payment methods Online processors, card fees, e-check fees, mail rules and drop boxes vary by county.

Save the receipt Record the parcel or duplicate number, amount, date, method and confirmation.

General statewide penalty rule: A qualifying delinquent installment paid within 30 days may receive a 5% penalty. Otherwise, the penalty is generally 10%. Ask the treasurer for the exact current total before paying.

After confirming the parcel and current balance, use the county treasurer’s official payment instructions. The DLGF due-date page is useful for statewide dates and penalty basics but does not post county payments.

Verify Indiana tax due dates Find county-specific information

TS-1 tax statement help

Read an Indiana property-tax bill correctly

The TS-1 tax comparison statement shows more than the amount due. It explains the assessed value, deductions, tax rate, credits, cap calculation, government distributions and special charges.

Important TS-1 tax-bill sections
Bill section	What it shows	What to check
Gross assessed value	Value before deductions.	Compare with the assessment record and Form 11.
Deductions	Homestead and other reductions applied to assessed value.	Contact the auditor when an expected deduction is missing.
Net assessed value	Value remaining after deductions.	This is the primary value used in the tax calculation.
Local tax rate	Combined rate for the property’s taxing district.	Do not compare parcels in different districts without adjustment.
Local and state credits	Credits reducing gross tax liability.	Credits can vary by county and property class.
Property-tax cap credit	Credit needed to bring eligible taxes within constitutional cap limits.	Referendum and some other charges may remain outside the cap.
Government distribution	How gross taxes are distributed to county, city, school, township and other units.	This is not a list of separate bills to pay.
Other charges	Special assessments and charges such as drains or improvements.	These may not follow the ordinary tax-cap treatment.

Indiana property-tax caps

1% cap

Homestead property, based on gross assessed value.

2% cap

Other residential property and agricultural land.

3% cap

Other real property and personal property.

The cap is not the tax rate. Local rates are still calculated for the taxing district. The cap operates through a credit when eligible taxes exceed the constitutional threshold, and voter-approved referendum charges may be outside the cap.

Use the official Tax Bill 101 page after opening your bill. Follow its tables in order and compare each value with the property record rather than focusing only on the installment amount.

Assessment correction and appeal

Challenge assessed value through the assessor

The assessor—not the county auditor—is the first office for a disagreement with land, building or assessed value. Review the property facts before filing.

Check these facts first

Land acreage and classification

Building square footage

Year built and condition

Basement and finished area

Garages and outbuildings

Comparable properties

General Indiana appeal workflow

Find the assessment notice Use the Form 11 or the assessment information included with the tax bill.

Verify the county-specific deadline The general deadline is June 15 of the year Form 11 is received, or June 15 of the following year when no Form 11 is mailed.

Contact the local assessor Ask which current form, filing method and evidence rules apply.

Identify the exact disputed facts State whether the problem concerns data, condition, classification or market value-in-use.

Attach useful evidence Use photographs, measurements, closing records, comparable sales, inspection reports or repair estimates.

Continue paying required taxes Filing an appeal does not automatically eliminate installment-payment and penalty responsibilities.

2026 timing warning: As of August 6, 2026, many June 15, 2026 appeal deadlines have passed. Check the official Form 11 Status page because county mail dates and listed deadlines can differ.

An appraisal is not automatically required. Indiana’s taxpayer guidance states that a property owner may appeal without first obtaining an appraisal, although a relevant appraisal can still be useful evidence.

Check Form 11 county status Read the appeal guidance

Auditor-administered tax benefits

Check deductions and credits before the next bill

County auditors are the primary local point of contact for deduction and credit eligibility. Do not assume a deduction transfers automatically after a sale, refinancing, ownership change or change of use.

Common Indiana property-tax benefits
Program	Potential use	Preparation
Homestead Deduction	Principal residence and qualifying homesite.	Ownership, occupancy and state-required identification information.
Over 65 Deduction or Credit	Qualifying older homeowners.	Age, ownership, residence and current income documentation.
Disabled Veteran Deduction or Credit	Qualifying veterans or surviving spouses.	Applicable veteran and disability documentation.
Blind or Disabled Credit	Qualifying blind or disabled taxpayers.	Medical, disability, income and ownership records as required.
Rehabilitated Property	Qualifying rehabilitation work.	Project, property and completion information.
Heritage Barn Deduction	Eligible historic agricultural structures.	Age, use and structure documentation.

Micro steps before filing a deduction

Open the current state form list Forms, income calculations and programme instructions can change.

Call the county auditor Confirm eligibility, filing deadline, required signatures and supporting documents.

Use the exact parcel information Include the county, parcel number, property address and ownership name.

Keep proof of submission Save the dated application and county receipt or confirmation.

Check the following tax bill Verify that the deduction appears in the TS-1 deductions section.

Do not rely on an old income threshold. Over 65 and other income-based limits can be updated. Use the current filing-year calculation published by DLGF and confirm it with the county auditor.

Review deductions and credits Open current DLGF forms

Ownership and transfer documents

Find the deed, mortgage, lien or sales record

An auditor or GIS record can identify the parcel and provide transfer clues, but the county recorder maintains the actual recorded instrument.

Recorded-document workflow

Find the parcel first Save the owner, former owner, parcel number and approximate transfer date.

Open the county recorder’s official search County systems and online coverage dates vary.

Search both grantor and grantee Try full names, initials, previous surnames, trusts, estates and business names.

Narrow by document type Select deed, mortgage, release, lien, easement, affidavit or plat.

Compare legal-description clues Confirm parcel references, township, subdivision, lot or acreage.

Request a certified copy when needed Ask the receiving lender, attorney, court or agency whether an ordinary online image is sufficient.

Title warning: A property-search result or online deed image is not a complete title examination. Liens, easements, releases, probate records and other matters may require professional review.

Property transfer roles

Recorder

Records the deed and other instrument.

Auditor

Updates transfer, tax and ownership-related records and processes applicable sales disclosures or deductions.

Assessor

Reviews property characteristics and value after a transfer or property change.

Business property

Real estate search is not business personal property filing

Indiana business tangible personal property includes qualifying machinery, equipment and other business assets. These returns are filed with the county or township assessor rather than through the ordinary real-estate parcel search.

2026 filing date: The published 2026 business personal-property filing deadline was May 15, 2026 and has passed. Contact the assessor in the county where the business property is located for current correction, extension or late-filing guidance.

Delinquency, sale and redemption

Understand the Indiana county tax-sale roles

Tax-sale work is divided between county offices. The treasurer generally manages delinquent-tax collection and the annual sale process, while the auditor maintains required tax-sale records and commonly handles redemption or tax-deed questions.

Tax-sale questions and the office to contact
Question	Starting office	What to ask
Why is the parcel on the sale list?	Treasurer	Which installments, penalties and charges remain unpaid?
How do I remove my property before sale?	Treasurer	What certified funds, payoff amount and cutoff time apply?
What is the redemption amount?	Auditor	What amount, deadline and payment method are required?
How do I obtain a tax deed?	Auditor	What notices, waiting period and deed procedures apply?
Is the property free of liens?	Recorder and professional title review	What liens, easements or title defects remain?

Bidder warning: A tax-sale list is not a promise of immediate possession, clear title, buildability, access or usable structures. Research the parcel, legal description, liens, zoning, occupancy and redemption rules before bidding.

Tax-sale call script “I am calling about parcel [parcel number] in [county]. I need to confirm whether it is scheduled for tax sale, the current delinquent amount, redemption status, important dates and which office controls the next action.”

Ten practical answers

Indiana county auditor and property-tax FAQs

Where can I search Indiana property-tax records statewide?

Use the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance Tax Bill Search for county-reported tax information. Select the county and year, then search by owner or address using partial information if the full entry returns no result.

Is the Indiana county auditor the same as the county assessor?

No. The assessor determines assessed value and handles the first stage of a value appeal. The auditor maintains tax duplicates, ownership and transfer records, deductions, exemptions and other property-tax administration records.

How do I search an Indiana property by owner or address?

Choose the county, begin with part of the owner’s last name or the house number and main street name, and remove directions, suffixes and punctuation if the exact search fails. Verify the parcel number and location before using the record.

When are Indiana property taxes due in 2026?

The official statewide due dates are May 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026. Property-tax payments are made to the county treasurer.

What is the Indiana penalty for paying property taxes late?

A qualifying taxpayer who pays within 30 days and has no prior delinquent installment on the parcel generally receives a 5% penalty. Otherwise, the penalty is generally 10% of the unpaid tax.

How do I appeal an Indiana property assessment?

Contact the county or township assessor. The general filing deadline is June 15 of the year the Form 11 assessment notice is received, or June 15 of the following year when no Form 11 is mailed. Verify the county-specific deadline before filing.

Who handles Indiana property-tax deductions?

The county auditor is the primary local contact for property-tax deductions and credits, including Homestead, Over 65, disabled veteran, blind or disabled and other available programs.

Where do I find an Indiana deed, mortgage or lien?

Use the recorder’s office in the county where the property is located. The auditor property record may provide ownership or transfer clues, but the recorder maintains the recorded deed, mortgage, lien, release and easement documents.

Who should I contact about an Indiana tax-sale property?

Start with the county treasurer for delinquent-tax and sale-payment questions and the county auditor for tax-sale records, redemption amounts and tax-deed procedures. The exact office workflow varies by county.

What should I do if an Indiana property search returns no result?

Search with fewer fields, use part of the last name, remove the street direction and suffix, try the former owner, search the parcel number without punctuation and check the local county GIS. Contact the county auditor if the record remains unavailable.

Information checked August 6, 2026: Statewide tax searches, assessed-value guidance, all 92 county names, county-auditor duties, 2026 due dates and penalties, tax-bill caps, Form 11 appeal guidance, deductions, business personal-property filing information and DLGF contacts were checked against official Indiana government sources.

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.
