The law made the "assessed value" equal to the "true tax value" of the property. Under the old system True Tax Value was divided by 3 to arrive at assessed value. As a result of the new assessment, tax rates fell to approximately one-third of their previous levels. 2) Ranks are among 1,941 taxing districts in the state. 3) SPTRC is State Property Tax Replacement Credit. 4) Net rate is derived as follows: multiply state property tax replacement factor by .01, subtract this number from 1; multiply gross rate by the result. 5) The replacement factor determines by how much money the tax bill is lowered by fund transfers from the State of Indiana. 6) Net rate shown is not the final rate paid because final property tax bills are based on updated assessed values not available when these rates are computed. 7) The source agency for these rates is the State Board of Tax Commissioners and specific tax related questions should be addressed to their office. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Data organized by the Indiana Business Research Center, Indiana University, Kelley School of Business.
