Fall Property Tax Payment Deadline is Tuesday

The deadline to pay the Fall installment of Indiana property taxes is Tuesday.

Most counties let you pay online, by mail, or at the treasurer’s office.

If your mortgage includes an escrow account, your lender usually pays for you.

Taxpayers who do not pay property taxes by the due date receive a penalty.

For those who pay the tax within 30 days of the due date and do not owe back taxes on the same property, the penalty is 5 percent of the unpaid tax.

If you fail to pay your taxes and the penalty within 30 days, the penalty increases to 10 percent of the unpaid tax.
