Find the Property and Reach the Right Office
Search Marion County property records by owner name, property address, local parcel number or state parcel number, then review assessed value, land, improvements, property class and the official Property Record Card.
This guide explains the important Indiana office split: the Assessor manages values and property cards, the Auditor manages deductions and transfer-related tax records, the Treasurer collects taxes, and the Recorder maintains deeds, mortgages, liens and plats.
Quick answer: begin with the Property Report Card
Open the official Assessor Property Cards search, choose one search method, open the correct result and save both the local parcel number and 18-digit state parcel number before moving to maps, taxes, deductions, deeds or an assessment appeal.

- Open the matching card.
- Verify the property address.

- Enter all or part of the owner name.
- Begin with a surname or distinctive business word.
- Try a trust, estate, LLC or former owner.
- Review all plausible matches.

Marion County Indiana property FAQs
Does the Marion County Auditor operate the property search?
The main Marion County property-card search is operated through the Assessor and IndyGIS. The Auditor handles property-tax deductions, ownership-transfer processing, tax-duplicate responsibilities and other county financial duties.
How can I search Marion County Indiana property records?
Use the official Assessor Property Cards tool. It supports searches by seven-digit parcel number, 18-digit state parcel number, owner name and property address.
Why does my Marion County property search return no result?
Simplify the search. Use part of the owner name, select the address from the suggested list, remove street suffixes or search with the parcel number from a tax bill. A recently transferred, split or combined property may still appear under an older record.
Are MapIndy parcel boundaries legally exact?
No. MapIndy and assessment parcel lines are useful research tools but do not replace a recorded deed, subdivision plat, survey or professional boundary determination.
Who collects Marion County Indiana property taxes?
The Marion County Treasurer collects real estate and other property taxes. The Assessor determines assessed value, while the Auditor maintains deductions and performs other tax-administration duties.
What are Marion County Indiana’s 2026 property-tax due dates?
Indiana lists May 11, 2026 as the spring installment due date and November 10, 2026 as the fall installment due date. The spring deadline has passed, so taxpayers with an unpaid amount should verify the current balance and penalty through the Treasurer.
How can I check whether my Homestead Deduction is active?
Use the official Marion County deduction search. Begin typing the property address, select the correct suggested address and verify that the owner name and parcel ID populate before submitting.
How do I appeal a Marion County property assessment?
An assessment appeal begins with the Marion County Assessor, generally through Form 130 or the county’s online appeal process. Unresolved appeals proceed to the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals and may later be taken to the Indiana Board of Tax Review.
Where can I find Marion County deeds, mortgages and liens?
Use the Marion County Recorder’s Office and its remote land-record search services. Search with current and former owner names, document type, recording date, document number or other known recording information.
Where are the Marion County property offices located?
The principal Assessor, Auditor, Treasurer and Recorder services are located in the Indianapolis City-County Building at 200 East Washington Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204. Verify the office suite and public-counter hours before visiting.

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.
