PROPERTY TAX REASSESSMENT INFORMATION

1. According to Marion County Assessor Joe O’Connor, the better way to address any questions about a resident’s reassessment is for the resident to call the general number for the Assessor’s office (317-327-4907) or to stop in at one of the Assessor’s satellite locations, as listed below. All locations are open 8:00 to 4:30 Monday through Friday.

City – County Building
200 E Washington St
Suite 1360
Indianapolis, IN 46204
Fax: 317-327-4639

2. If there are obvious mistakes with the assessment, they can be corrected at the discretion of personnel of the Assessor’s Office without a formal appeal.

3. If an appeal is still desired, the deadline to file the Form 11, which was included with the notice, requesting that appeal of the assessment is 45 days from receipt of that reassessment notice.

4. Indiana law does not set a maximum percentage increase or decrease for a change in assessment as a result of a mandated statewide general reassessment.

5. If a resident does wish to appeal the assessment of their property, it will be incumbent upon them to provide proof as to why the assessment is incorrect as part of the appeal of that assessment.

6. The reassessments will impact the property tax bill that will be due and payable in 2013.

How do we make Indy’s favorite places the rule, rather than the exception?

INDIANAPOLIS – Have you ever wondered why some neighborhoods are better at attracting residents and businesses than others? Are there changes that we should make today that would improve the connections between neighborhoods and the places where people work and shop? How should the City balance the need for economic development and job creation with drinking water protection, stormwater management and flood protection? Zoning and development regulations impact your world every day; the Indy Rezone team needs your input about how we should change! Share what’s working and what is not and any ideas, suggestions or comments about how Indy should development in the future of finite resources.

Join your neighbors, employers, city officials, and technical experts at the first set of public listening sessions. After a brief introduction to the project, we will ask for your input on a series of questions meant to foster meaningful dialogue between residents, business owners, community leaders and decision makers about how to make Indianapolis more sustainable, livable and adaptable. Join us at one of the following sessions or visit us online:

Indy Rezone, the latest effort to realize Mayor Ballard’s goal to make Indianapolis one of the most sustainable cities in the Midwest, aims to update local ordinances, and development regulations to improve Indy residents’ quality of life.
