About Property Taxes in Indiana
Indiana property taxes are administered at the county level. Property is assessed at 100% of market value (called "true tax value") as of January 1 each year. Indiana has a unique property tax cap system established by constitutional amendment: property taxes on homesteads are capped at 1% of assessed value, other residential at 2%, and commercial/industrial at 3%. This circuit breaker provides a guaranteed ceiling on tax liability. Tax bills are issued twice a year and cover taxes from the prior year — Indiana taxes are paid one year in arrears.
Payment & Assessment
Indiana property taxes are paid in two equal installments for the prior tax year: First installment: Due May 10 Second installment: Due November 10 A 5% penalty applies if paid within 30 days after the due date; 10% after that. Most counties offer online payment. Contact your county treasurer for payment options. Indiana's property tax cap means no homeowner should pay more than 1% of their home's assessed value in property taxes. If your bill exceeds that threshold, a circuit breaker credit is automatically applied.

About Blackford County
Blackford County is located in the east central portion of the U.S. state of Indiana. The county is named for Judge Isaac Blackford, who was the first speaker of the Indiana General Assembly and a long-time chief justice of the Indiana Supreme Court. Created in 1838, Blackford County is divided into four townships, and its county seat is Hartford City. Two incorporated cities and one incorporated town are located within the county. The county is also the site of numerous unincorporated communities and ghost towns. Occupying only 165.58 square miles (428.9 km2), Blackford County is the fourth smallest county in Indiana. As of the 2020 census, the county's population was 12,112. Based on population, the county is the 8th smallest county of the 92 in Indiana. Although no interstate highways are located in Blackford County, three Indiana state roads cross the county, and an additional state road is located along the county's southeast border. The county has two railroad lines. A north–south route crosses the county, and intersects with a second railroad line that connects Hartford City with communities to the west.
