Notes

  1. With the 2002 reassessment, Indiana changed from "true tax value" to "market based value". As a result, rates will vary significantly from previous years. This does not necessarily indicate significant changes in taxes levied.
  2. Ranks are among 1,967 taxing districts so far reported.
  3. SPTRC is State Property Tax Replacement Credit.
  4. Net rate is derived as follows: multiply state property tax replacement factor (SPTRC) 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 does not reflect possible homestead, special case, or county-specific credits.
  7. The source agency for these rates is the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance and specific tax related questions should be addressed to their office.
