Tax rates are usually expressed in dollars per $100 of assessed value. Properties are subject to taxation by a variety of taxing units (schools, counties, townships, cities and towns, libraries, etc.), making the total tax rate the sum of the tax rates imposed by all taxing units in which properties are located.
In 2006, Indiana enacted the 2 Percent Circuit Breaker law, which will ensure that homeowners would not pay more than 2 percent of their property value in taxes once this law is fully in place. The Circuit Breaker is slated to become mandatory statewide for residential properties in 2007. The Circuit Breaker expands to include all property types in 2009.
