Indiana Property Tax Assessments: June 15 Deadline Approaching Fast

As of April 30, Indiana counties began issuing updated real property assessments, with notices sent out across jurisdictions. For CPAs and real estate advisors, this annual appeal window—closing June 15—is a critical opportunity to support clients in lowering their property tax burden.

Even if assessment notices arrive on different dates depending on the county, the appeal deadline remains the same statewide: June 15. Once that date passes, property owners lose the ability to challenge their 2025 assessed values, locking in what may be inflated tax liabilities.

Why This Matters for Your Clients

Many Indiana properties—especially in sectors like office, industrial, and retail—have faced market headwinds over the past year, including increased vacancy, declining rents, and operating disruptions. If assessed values don’t reflect those conditions, there may be grounds for a reduction.

What to Watch For:

• Significant year-over-year increases in assessed value
• Performance declines were not accounted for in the valuation
• Property types under market pressure (e.g., suburban office, hospitality, retail)

You can help clients avoid overpaying for the next tax cycle by identifying potential appeal opportunities now. In many cases, a successful appeal can lead to 10–15% savings, often with minimal disruption to their operations.
