The Assessor’s Office is responsible for estimating the market value in use for each parcel of real property in the county. Currently Hendricks County has over 76,000 parcels. The State of Indiana determines the procedures, rules and regulations that all 92 countries must adhere to in the development of estimates of market values in use. The estimate of value in use becomes the assessed value (AV). An assessed value is determined for each parcel on an annual basis.  The Assessment date is January 1st of every year.

 

The Assessor’s Office in addition to determining assessed values for real estate, is responsible for the development of Business Personal Property assessed values.  Hendricks County has approximately 7,000 business personal property parcels.

For Immediate Release:

The Hendricks County Assessor’s Office has been receiving a significant amount of returned mail, since the mailing of the Notice of Assessments on April 26, 2024.  This Notice shows what the 2024 assessment will be for taxes payable in 2025.  It also serves as the notice to file an appeal if you do not believe that the new assessment is market value, or what you could or would be willing to sell your home for.

With the amount of returned mail that we are still receiving daily, I am concerned that many property owners may not receive their Notice in time for the June 17th appeal deadline.  Therefore, I have decided to extend the appeal deadline to Monday July 8th, giving an additional 3 weeks to file an appeal.

These Notice of Assessments or Form-11s are available on our website, along with the most recent copy of the Property Record Card (PRC).  I would encourage everyone to review both the F-11 and the PRC for accuracy.  These can be found by going to the Hendricks County website at www.co.hendricks.in.us  Once on the home page, click GIS Services and agree to the terms.  Use Property Search and then enter the Name, Address or State ID (parcel number that begins with a 32).  This will then bring up the parcel information along with the Form 11 and the PRC.  Also from this spot, you may use the File an Appeal tab to search for comparable of your property within your neighborhood and submit an appeal online if desired.

Please review your PRC for any discrepancies regarding structures on the parcel, bathroom counts, etc.. and especially the mailing address.  Feel free to send updated mailing addresses or additional questions via email to assessordept@co.hendricks.in.us

We truly appreciate your assistance in making sure your property information is accurate as possible.

Cyclical Reassessment Information:  The purpose and goal of Cyclical Reassessment is to ensure that every parcel is assessed as equitably, accurately, and as fairly as possible.  We do this by researching, reviewing, and reassessing 25% of the county parcels annually, as required by Indiana Code.  This includes completing physical inspections or aerial reviews for outside changes to the parcel.  Permits are reviewed, as well as research of homes that are currently listed for sale, have previously sold, or have expired listings.  You may find the market area and year in which your property is scheduled for reassessment at www.co.hendricks.in.us/assessor, by clicking on Cyclical Reassessment on the left side of the page.

Deduction Information:  For information regarding the homestead deduction, over 65 deduction, and other deductions, contact the Auditor’s Office at 317-745-9300.

The Hendricks County Assessor’s Office strives to be as transparent as possible, while providing accurate and educational information to property owners.  I encourage you to visit our website for more information.
