    2009 Local Homestead Credit -  On September 30, 2009, the Treasurer's Office mailed the 2009 local homestead credit applied to the 2009 fall tax installment. Per the Department of Local Government Finance, the entire local homestead credit was applied to the fall bill. This is how the credit will be applied:
  • Homeowners who qualify for the local homestead exemption will receive a new adjusted fall bill. Homeowners who paid only their spring installment, but not their fall installment, will receive the entire credit on their fall installment, meaning their fall bill will be adjusted lower than their spring bill. This fall installment will be due Tuesday, November 10, 2009.
  • People who are in escrow, will receive an adjusted fall bill watermarked "duplicate sent to mortgage company" and will see a credit applied to their fall bill which will come with a notice explaining that their escrow company will receive their adjusted bill and will pay the adjusted amount.
  • Homeowners who have paid both the spring and fall installments will receive a refund check.


  • Homestead Rebate checks due to 2007 tax relief provided by the Indiana General Assembly were mailed out on December 20, 2007 and December 21 2007.
