Property Tax Reform Expected to Impact Libraries

Property tax reform in Indiana is causing uncertainty and concern among librarians as it impacts library funding.

The law, which affects property and income taxes, is expected to result in reduced property tax revenue and changes to the local income tax distribution formula.

Libraries, which heavily rely on property taxes for funding, may face significant budget cuts and challenges in maintaining services.

Some library directors say they are already educating their communities on the potential impact of the legislation and seeking support to ensure continued funding for libraries in the future.
