Does Your Business Own Commercial Property? Are the Indiana Property Tax Bills Excessive? Have You Considered an Indiana Property Tax Appeal?
In Indiana, most commercial property is subject to a three percent (3%) maximum tax bill based upon the property’s assessed value. The proportion of tax is a fixed value based upon the cost of operating local government, i.e. “tax burden”. This “tax burden” is distributed among the taxpayers in a given district based upon the assessed value of the property in question. A property’s “assessed value” is based on a specific formula for the type of use of the particular structure. This is supposed to reflect the property’s “market value in use,” but quite often the formula can produce a value much higher than the market for the particular property would suggest. This excess value causes your tax bill to dramatically increase. Filing an Indiana Property Tax Appeal could significantly reduce your property tax bill. If you maintain a charity or nonprofit, SFT Lawyers are highly experienced in arguing such exemptions before local and state boards, which can completely eliminate your Indiana property tax bill.
Do You Own Multiple Investment Properties and Want to Lower Your Indiana Property Tax Bills by Filing an Indiana Property Tax Appeal?
Residential rental properties in Indiana are subject to a two percent (2%) cap on total assessed value. This means that your property tax bill is calculated based upon what the assessor determines the value of your real estate to be based upon the “mass appraisal method”. The “mass appraisal method” of assessment basically means that a given county assessor determines the value of your property based upon weighted averages of real estate sales in the given neighborhoods where your properties are located. This is simply an estimate of your property’s worth, and this method is far from perfect. This method simply aims to come close to what the value might be if your property is perfectly comparable to the other residential properties in your neighborhood. What consists of a “neighborhood” is determined by the individual assessor, and these estimated values can often exceed your property’s true market value in use. This causes your Indiana property tax bill to become excessive. Filing an Indiana Property Tax Appeal could significantly reduce your property tax bill.
