County Assessors
Got It Wrong.

Indiana's mass appraisal system applies broad formulas across entire neighborhoods statewide — systematically over-valuing distressed, aging, and deferred-maintenance properties in all 92 counties. Calumet Township is the most extreme documented case, but over-assessment happens everywhere from Indianapolis to Evansville.

⚠️ Lake County 2025–2026 Alert

Lake County will NOT issue Form 11 assessment notices for 25pay26. Your tax bill IS the notice. You must file Form 130 by June 15, 2026 — or lose your right to appeal for the year.

Common
Questions.

What is Form 130 and do I need it?
Form 130 is Indiana's official Taxpayer's Notice to Initiate an Appeal (IC 6-1.1-15). It's required to start the appeal process. Our Pro and Pro+ tiers auto-fill it from your property data so you just sign and file.
What is the 2026 appeal deadline?
For most Indiana counties the deadline is 45 days from your assessment notice. For Lake County in 2026, the deadline is June 15, 2026. No extensions are granted. Missing it means you cannot appeal for the year.
Do I need a lawyer or appraiser?
No. Indiana law allows homeowners to represent themselves at PTABOA hearings. Our tool prepares everything you need to present a professional, evidence-based appeal. For complex cases we recommend consulting an attorney, but most residential appeals don't require one.
What if my appeal is denied?
PTABOA is the first level. If denied, you can escalate to the Indiana Board of Tax Review, then the Indiana Tax Court. Each level is an independent review — many appeals that fail at PTABOA succeed at the next level.
What counties does the app cover?
All 92 Indiana counties, using data from the DLGF Indiana Gateway system. Lake County (especially Calumet Township zip codes 46319 and 46402–46410) has the most detailed coverage and is our priority focus.
What does Pro+ "50 photos per property" mean exactly?
Each of the up to 10 properties in your Pro+ order gets its own independent AI analysis of up to 50 photos — not 50 photos shared across all properties. That's 500 total photo analyses per order, each producing its own condition report.
Is this legal advice?
No. This tool is for informational purposes and does not constitute legal or professional appraisal advice. We help you organize and present evidence — the decision is made by the PTABOA board. For complex situations, consult a licensed Indiana attorney.
How does the AI condition assessment work?
You upload photos of your property. Claude AI analyzes them for water damage, dated systems, structural issues, deferred maintenance, and other condition factors. It returns a formal condition rating (Poor/Fair/Average/Good/Excellent), a percentage adjustment versus average condition, and specific findings you can cite at the hearing.
