• An appeal of the current year’s real property assessment may have two different filing deadlines which are based on when the Form 11 notice of
assessment is mailed. If the Form 11 is mailed before May 1 of the assessment year, the filing deadline Is June 15 of that year. If the Form 11 is mailed after
April 30 of the assessment year, the filing deadine is June 15 in the year that the tax statements are mailed (IC 6-1.1-15-1.1) Taxpayers should complete
Section II of this form for this type of appeal.

appeal must be filed not later than three (3) years after the taxes were first due. Taxpayers should complete Section Ill of this form for this type or appeal.
• For personal property assessments, an appeal can be filed within forty-five (45) days of the date that the notice was mailed.
• The appeal of an assessment requires evidence relevant to the true tax value of the taxpayer's property as of the assessment date. This evidence is not
required to be provided at the time of filing the appeal; however, the exchange of available information is required at the preliminary informal meeting. If the
disputed issues cannot be resolved and a hearing before the county board is required, any additional information obtained after the preliminary informal
meeting and before the hearing should be provided to the other party before the hearing. If the information is provided for the first time at the hearing, the
county board, unless waived by the receiving party, shall continue the hearing. Examples of evidence could include an appraisal, construction costs, sales
information for the subject property or comparable properties, or any other information complied according to generally accepted appraisal principles.
As a result of filing this petition, the assessment may increase, may decrease, or may stay the same.
SPECIAL NOTE: A holder of a tax sale certificate under IC 6-1.1-24 does not have an interest in tangible property for purposes of obtaining a review or bringing
