🏠 IMPORTANT PROPERTY TAX INFORMATION FOR INDIANA SENIORS

For property taxes payable in 2027:

✅ The Over 65 Credit may provide an annual property-tax credit of up to $150.

✅ The Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit generally limits the year-over-year increase in a qualifying senior’s homestead property-tax liability to 2%—including an increase attributable to a referendum—after other applicable credits are applied.

The income limits for the Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit are:

• $61,680 or less for a single taxpayer
• $71,960 or less for a married couple filing jointly

Recent changes also removed the previous $240,000 assessed-value limit. Eligible taxpayers may receive both senior benefits.

These credits are not automatic. Seniors must meet all eligibility requirements and submit State Form 43708 by January 15, 2027, to the county auditor.

The Assessors Office has received many questions and concerns over the increase in the property Assessments. I have been putting together a PowerPoint addressing many of these questions. It will be posted on the Assessors web page. We are also going to be conducting 4 public workshops that will be after normal office hours and a couple Saturdays. TBD

You can also email or call the office. Please be aware that we have limited staff and have had numerous visitors, phone calls, and we are currently still working on day one messages! We will get to you if you left a message, please be patient!

This program is AWESOME! They were our chosen charity at our annual conference a couple weeks ago and it’s amazing what they do. The program is ran through the Humane Society for Hamilton County, but any Veteran in the State of Indiana suffering from PTSD or TBI is eligible. They will pair a shelter animal with the Veteran and they will cover the pre and post adoption expenses for the life of the pet as needed.

We're so grateful for our friends at the Indiana Recorders Association for hosting us at their meeting to help spread the word about Pets Healing Vets! Thank you to all of the attendees who listened to our story and made donations to our program.

The association's efforts raised $3,620 for HSHC's Pets Healing Vets program-- all to help veterans and shelter pets like Kyle and Clifford. A special shoutout to this dynamic duo for coming out to this event to share their story.

Help us say "THANK YOU" to the IRA in the comments, and learn more about them at indianarecorders.org.
