From the Northwest Indiana Times:
Porter County Assessor Jon Snyder said his office has completed work on the 1,900 tax assessment appeals filed in the fall, which is a task that has not been accomplished for many years.
Snyder said it was his goal for the office to complete its work on the appeals in time for the spring tax statements.
"I cannot be more proud of the office and their amazing accomplishments," he said.
Less than 300 of those appeals remain in the hands of taxpayers, Snyder said. He predicted that about 50 would likely be challenged to the Porter County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals.
Timely appeals will result in tax statement credits rather than refunds, which are more costly for the county, he said.
The next round of appeals will come within 45 days of the new notices of assessment, which Snyder said could go out as early as this spring.
