Information About Your Tax Bill

  • Keep an eye out for your bill to come in the mail every April.  Tax bills are only mailed once a year and contain both the Spring Installment and Fall Installment amounts.  If you have not received your bill by the end of April, you can go to our Low website and view the annual taxes you owe. Failure to receive a tax statement does not relieve the taxpayer of the responsibility for payment and penalties when delinquent. The Treasurer's office does not send delinquent notices. If you’re paying after the tax due date, contact the Treasurer’s Office at 317-477-1152 for the correct amount due including penalties. 
     
  • A tax bill that has been watermarked with “escrow” indicates a lender has been instructed to pay your taxes out of an escrow account.  You are receiving this informational tax statement in accordance with Indiana Code. However, if you believe you are responsible for payment of these taxes, please use this bill.  If you are unsure who is responsible for paying the taxes, please contact your mortgage company to confirm.
     
  • If you have sold any of the property assessed to you, or if you recently bought a property after the assessment date of the previous year, you should ask the Title Company, Lawyer, or Real Estate Agent to confirm who is responsible for paying the taxes.
     
  • Each year along with your tax bill there is a black & white Comparison statement (TS-1A) which compares your assessments, deductions, and tax rates from this year to last.  Please review this form to identify what has changed.  The comparison statement may not answer all your questions, but it will most likely direct you to the correct office to call.
