Does anyone know of a website where I can find out how much property taxes are?

Question

I live in Indiana and my property taxes are paid through my escrow and I don't get a copy of the bill and I'm trying to find out how much the taxes are.

Answer 1

Try a "parcel search" site for your specific county in Indiana. Use a search engine to find it. I am in Colorado and it is a .gov site. You type in the address you want to know about and it gives you all kinds of great info, including the property taxes and whether or not they are current. I think "parcel" is just a term used to describe plots of land. Good luck!

Answer 2

Property taxes are levied by the municipality in which the residence is located. The local "City Hall" will be able to tell you exactly how much the property tax for a given property is. The assement office can also give you what is generally called the "MIL RATE" this is the formula that they town uses to assess properties, usually in the form of X dollars per thousand, then you multiply the MIL rate by the assessed value in thousands of dollars to find the annual tax. There are also water and sewer rates in some localities as well and garbage rates etc., that all make up part of the annual assessment. The town offices are your best and really only resource for this kind of information.

Answer 3

Go to the city or county tax department and ask for a copy of your bill. They'll send you a duplicate if you ask for it. Or just look at the annual escrow review statement from your mortgage company. It will list all of the payments for taxes and homeowners insurance.

Unless your local tax district puts that information on line there's no way to get it on line. A few do but most don't. Without knowing your city or town and county (and probably half a dozen other tax entities such as MUDs, road districts, fire districts, library districts, etc.) it's not possible to look it up for you.
