There are deadlines for filing; however, if you missed those deadlines it still may be benefical to talk directly with the treasurer’s office about temporary relieve.  In Lake County, Indiana, the homeowner can now make a six month payment arrangement instead of the three month payment arrangement.  Still yet, some homeowners and investor have spoken to the treasurer’s office and successfully gotten temporary reduction in their property taxes until their appeal is filed and heard before the board.
