How Property Assessments Work
Indiana property assessments are intended to reflect a property’s market value. Hamilton County reviews property information and real estate sales to determine assessed values.
Property values may change because of:
- Changes in the local real estate market
- Recent sales of comparable properties
- New construction
- Home additions or improvements
- Changes to land values
- Corrections to property information
- Annual trending of assessed values
An increase in assessed value does not necessarily mean your property tax bill will increase by the same percentage. Tax rates, deductions, credits and Indiana’s property tax caps also affect the final bill.

Look Up Your Assessed Value
Hamilton County provides an online property search where residents can review assessment and tax information.
Use the official Hamilton County Property Search to look up a property.
The system allows searches using information such as a parcel number or property address.
Once you locate the property, you can review its assessed value and property record card.
Check Your Property Record Card
The Hamilton County Assessor encourages property owners to review their property record cards for errors.
Your property record card contains information the Assessor uses when valuing the property. Depending on the property, this may include information about the land, structures and improvements.
Look for obvious errors such as:
- Incorrect square footage
- Wrong number or type of structures
- A garage, deck or other improvement that doesn’t exist
- Incorrect property characteristics
- Incorrect land information
You know your property better than anyone, so reviewing the record card is one of the easiest ways to catch an assessment problem.
Property record cards are available through the Hamilton County Property Search.
Why Did My Assessment Increase?
An assessment can increase even when you haven’t made improvements to your property.
Hamilton County uses market data as part of Indiana’s annual assessment process. If homes in your area have been selling for higher prices, assessments in the neighborhood may increase to better reflect current market values.
Assessments can also change when:
- A home is remodeled or expanded
- A garage, pool, barn or other structure is added
- Previously unrecorded improvements are discovered
- Property information is corrected
- Land values are adjusted
- Market trends change
The important comparison is whether the overall assessed value reasonably reflects the property’s market value as of the assessment date.
Notice of Assessment – Form 11
If your assessed value changes, you may receive a Notice of Assessment (Form 11) from the Hamilton County Assessor.
The notice shows information about your assessment and is especially important if you believe the new value is incorrect.
Don’t ignore the notice if you are considering an appeal. Property assessment appeals have filing deadlines.
The Hamilton County Assessor posts current assessment and appeal information on the Assessor’s Office website.
What If My Assessment Is Wrong?
Start by reviewing your property record card.
If the physical information about your property is incorrect, contact the Hamilton County Assessor’s Office and explain the discrepancy.
If the property information is correct but you believe the assessed value is too high, you have the right to appeal the assessment.
Evidence that may help support an appeal can include:
- Recent comparable property sales
- A recent appraisal
- Sale information for your property
- Construction costs
- Photos or documentation showing property condition
- Corrections to information on the property record card
Hamilton County uses Form 130 – Taxpayer’s Notice to Initiate an Appeal for property assessment appeals.

Assessment vs. Property Tax Bill
Your assessment and your property tax bill aren’t the same thing.
The assessment is the value assigned to your property for taxation purposes.
Your eventual tax bill is affected by several additional factors, including:
- Local tax rates
- Homestead deductions
- Other deductions or credits
- Referendum rates
- Indiana property tax caps
This means two homes with similar assessed values can have different tax bills.

Assessor vs. Treasurer vs. Auditor
It can be confusing to know which Hamilton County office handles which property-tax issue.
Hamilton County Assessor:
Determines assessed property values and handles assessment questions and appeals.
Hamilton County Auditor:
Handles property tax deductions, credits and certain tax adjustments.
Hamilton County Treasurer:
Handles property tax billing and payments.
If your question is “Why is my property valued at this amount?”, start with the Assessor.
If your question concerns a deduction, see our Property Tax Deductions page.

Local Tips
- Check your property record card even if you aren’t planning to appeal.
- Compare the total assessed value, not just one portion of the assessment.
- Don’t assume an assessment increase means your tax bill will increase by the same amount.
- If something about your home’s description is clearly wrong, contact the Assessor.
- Keep your Form 11 if you receive one.
- Pay close attention to appeal deadlines listed on assessment notices.
- If you’re comparing properties, use the county’s official property records rather than relying solely on real estate websites.
- Check your deductions separately because deductions are handled through the Hamilton County Auditor.
