Indiana Property Tax by County

Indiana has counties — and this almanac covers all of them (full state coverage). Effective property tax rates run ~0.83% statewide median — well below the national average and protected by Indiana's 1% constitutional cap on homestead property tax (one of the strongest tax caps in the US).

Why move here

  • 1% constitutional cap on homestead bills
  • low effective rates
  • low cost of living
  • strong manufacturing + logistics employment
  • central US reach to Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Indianapolis
  • no estate or inheritance tax
  • Indianapolis 500 + Big Ten college towns

Why not move here

  • cold winters with lake-effect snow in the north
  • fewer big-city amenities outside Indianapolis
  • slower wage growth than coastal markets
  • agricultural land use dominates rural areas

This almanac covers 92 of 92 Indiana counties.

About this site's data and estimates. The Property Tax Almanac is an independent editorial reference. It is not affiliated with any government agency, tax assessor, or tax preparation service. The calculators and data on this site are informational and are not a substitute for advice from a qualified tax professional, attorney, or your official county assessor or appraisal district.

Accuracy, sources, and scope. Source years and review coverage vary. A record’s update date is not confirmation of its tax year. Reviewed guides identify their official sources and calculation limits; other records may have incomplete source documentation. See our methodology and review process.

How to use these estimates. Read the scope of each tool: it may use a representative district, a historical rate, or hypothetical inputs. County benchmarks are not a parcel-specific tax quote. Confirm the taxable value, taxing districts, applicable year, exemptions and additional charges with the responsible local office before relying on an estimate.
