Property Tax Appeals Process

Indiana Department of Local Government Finance: Property Tax Appeals Process

Indiana law provides two ways for taxpayers to contest the assessed value of their property. Both begin at the local level and can be appealed to the state only after being reviewed locally.

If a taxpayer believes the assessed valuation of a property is incorrect, a “subjective appeal” may be filed. This type of appeal is based on the taxpayer’s judgment as to the correct market value of the property.

You can access forms and Find out more about the Property Tax Appeals Process by visiting the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) website.

An appeal can be initiated by visiting our GIS Portal and utilizing the search feature to access your property information. The GIS Portal can be easily accessed from the home page of the county website www.newtoncounty.in.gov by clicking on "GIS" at the bottom of the page.
