Property Taxes Are Still a Concern in Indiana

Thank you for revisiting you can still subscribe to my RSS feed. As Always Thank You for visiting!

Recently, I had a reader contact me asking questions pertaining to filing a property tax appeal.

I began to think that the question he asked may be question that other readers may have, but were afraid to ask.

His question was pertaining to how to obtain the parcel or key number if you live in other counties besides the ones highlighted in the video series below:

Property Tax Appeal Review (Video 1 of Section 1)

Indiana Property Tax Appeal (Part 2)

You can search for the parcel number and the basic information needed to fill out your appeal form by visiting http://beacon.schneidercorp.com.   On this site you will be able to find the parcel number for all 92 counties in Indiana.

The parcel number is an eighteen digit number it is used by all 92 counties.The parcel number itself is significant.  How, you ask?  The 18-digit State Key PIN is made up of the following parts: (2 digit County Code; 45 for Lake County) – (2 digit Township Number) – (2 digit Section Number) – (3 digit Quadrant Number) – (3 digit Parcel Number) . (3 digit Class Number; usually 000 for Noble County) – (3 digit Tax District Number).  For example, the following PIN, 45-08-28-202-029.000-004, is in: Calumet Twp (08), Section 28 (28), 202 Quadrant (202), parcel number 029 (029), class number of 000 (000), and Calumet township taxing district (004).Each county has a two digit number that represents that county.

I hope this helps you file your appeals.
