Bartholomew property tax bills to go out Friday

Bartholomew County property tax bills are set to be mailed out on Friday.

According to County Treasurer Barb Hackman, tax bills are mailed out once a year, but payments are divided into installments, with the spring installment due on May 11th and the fall installment due by November 10th.

If you need to make a payment, you have several options including through the mail to the treasurer’s office, in person at the Governmental Office Building on Third Street, at one of the two drop boxes located at the office building, at local banks including Centra Credit Union, First Financial Bank, JC Bank, Horizon Bank and German American. You can also pay by phone by calling 844-278-9126 or you can pay online here: https://www.bartholomew.in.gov

Hackman points out that there are several changes to the property taxes this year. Among those are a new supplemental homestead credit that will reduce tax bills by 10 percent or $300, whichever is less, and changes that make the former Over 65 deduction and blind-disabled deduction into tax credits.

If you have any question about your deductions you can contact the Bartholomew County auditor’s office at 812-379-1510 or e-mail [email protected] for more information.
