Hamilton County Property Tax Deadlines
Last Updated: August 2026
Hamilton County property taxes are generally paid in two installments each year. Indiana sets the standard due dates for spring and fall property-tax payments.
Quick Answer
Hamilton County property taxes are generally due:
- Spring installment: May 10
- Fall installment: November 10
If either date falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the deadline moves to the next business day. That’s why the exact calendar date can occasionally vary from year to year.

When Are Property Tax Bills Sent?
Hamilton County generally mails property tax statements in the spring.
One statement can include both the spring and fall installments, so don’t wait for another bill in the fall before paying.
If you didn’t receive your statement, you can still look it up online.

What Happens If You Pay Late?
Late property taxes are subject to penalties.
Hamilton County’s 2026 tax statements specify:
- 5% penalty if payment is made within 30 days after the deadline and there is no previous delinquent amount.
- 10% penalty if there is a previous delinquency or the payment remains unpaid beyond the 30-day period.
If you’re already late, check the current amount due before making your payment.

What If You Didn’t Receive a Tax Bill?
Not receiving a tax statement doesn’t eliminate the payment deadline.
Check online or contact the Hamilton County Treasurer if you:
- Recently purchased the property
- Changed your mailing address
- Paid off your mortgage
- Changed mortgage companies
- Normally have taxes paid through escrow
If Your Mortgage Company Pays Your Taxes
If your property taxes are included in your mortgage escrow payment, your lender normally handles the spring and fall tax payments.
It’s still a good idea to check Hamilton County’s online records afterward to make sure the payment was received.

Assessment Appeal Deadlines Are Different
The property tax payment deadline isn’t the same as the deadline to appeal your assessed value.
Assessment appeal deadlines depend on when assessment notices are issued.
