Auditor Gerig urges residents to file property tax deductions by year's end
Article provided
While Indiana real property owners have until the end of the year to file for property tax deductions, Whitley County Auditor Linda Gerig is urging individuals to file as soon as possible.
“With the holiday season and winter weather approaching, property owners should file deduction applications as soon as they are able,” said Gerig. “We don’t want anyone to miss out on a deduction because they missed the application deadline.”
Deduction applications must be completed and dated by December 31, 2010 and filed with the County Auditor on or before January 5, 2011 for the taxpayers to receive the eligible deductions on 2011 property tax bills.
Deduction applications are available at the county auditor’s office or may be downloaded from the Department of Local Government Finance website, click here.
In addition to meeting all other eligibility requirements for the desired deductions(s), the applicant for the deduction must own or be buying the property under contract on the date the application is filed in order to receive the deduction.
Persons filing for deductions on annually assessed mobile homes still are required to apply for the deduction during the 12 months before March 31 of each year.
