Why isn’t the Indiana property tax assessment making front page news?  I am sure it is making front page news with all the citizens of Porter County who on March 27 is going to have to pay higher property taxes.

I am appalled that the local paper has given little attention to the plight of Porter County’s property tax over-assessment.

Is it that the County Assessor John Scott does not see a problem with the higher taxes?

The assessor simply said, “let the appeal process determine if the taxes are too high.”

Why is it that the Local Government Finance Office care more about the citizens outrage over property taxes than the assessor?

Even local real estate brokers have had increase calls from outraged citizens about recent market values.  

Business owners believe that property taxes have went up 100 percent. 

Do not let yourself be taxed out of your home or business without a fight.  The assessor is not going to fight for you.  You can file an appeal.  You have until April 13 to file that appeal.  Visit www.in.gov/dlgf to get the forms needed to file that appeal.

I have include some helpful video to help with the process, as well.  See the links below:
