If the tax assessment notice you got in late November is still in a pile of mail on the counter, it’s time to pull it out and take another look.
That’s because Bartholomew County property owners who disagree with the proposed value of their home only have until Friday to file an appeal before taxes come due this spring.
Usually property owners can file appeals after they get a final tax bill in the spring. But this year the appeals timeline was pushed forward by a general reassessment of all property in Indiana and the state updating cost tables used by assessors.
As part of that process, the state required Bartholomew County and other local governments to send a notice to property owners showing the latest assessments and how the new numbers compare with the previous home values.
In Bartholomew County, those notices were mailed Nov. 28.
