Welcome to the Beta-test of the 2004/2003 comparative tax tool. This tool serves as a starting point for residents to better understand their property taxes and to estimate the amount of property taxes due. Note: In some cases the county records may be different due to the following:

-A property's Gross Market Value (used by the assessor to compute property taxes) is different than the actual Market Value
-Exemptions that a taxpayer is entitled may not be included in determining the Net Assessed Value

This calculator provides an estimate of the tax bill and is useful for the following:

- Verify the tax bill received from the county is correct.
- Compare the tax bill on your property to other properties of similar value in other
communities
- Determine the summary distribution of your tax bill (How the money is spent)
both in table and Pie Chart versions
- To learn more about the details of each category below, download Indiana's 51781 form
