MEMORANDUM


TO:                         All County Assessors and Auditors

FROM:                  Micah G. Vincent, Commissioner

RE:                          Tentative Determination of Assessed Values of State Distributable Property, Senate Enrolled Act 420-2014

DATE:                    May 8, 2014


On March 25, 2014, Governor Pence signed into law Senate Enrolled Act 420 (“SEA 420”). Section 18 of SEA 420, effective July 1, 2014, amends IC 6-1.1-8-27 to require the Department of Local Government Finance, on or before June 1 of each year, to certify its tentative determination of assessed values of state distributable property that are distributable for each taxing unit under IC 6-1.1-8-26. This certification is made to the county assessor and county auditor of each county where a tentative determination is made. A county auditor who receives this certification may use the tentative assessed values to prepare the certified statement of assessed values required under IC 6-1.1-17-1. The county auditor must designate these values as tentative assessed values in the certified statement. Section 18 of SEA 420 first applies to the 2015 pay 2016 tax cycle.
