Putnam County – Local Property Tax Table

Local property taxes in Indiana are paid in arrears.   The rates listed are per $100 of Assessed Value.   The assessed value on real estate is based in part on market value.   The assessed value on business personal property is based on depreciated cost.   Indiana uses the federal depreciation pools with a floor of 30% of cost.   The tables do not include any special conservancy district rates that may apply to individual properties within the designated conservancy district.

Local property tax rates include the county rate, certain school district rates, library rate, township rate, and fire protection district rates, if applicable.   Rates for incorporated areas also include the municipal rate.

Indiana has adopted maximum property tax caps as part of the state constitution.   The caps equal 1% of gross assessed value of owner occupied homes, 2% of the gross assessed value of residential rental real estate, and 3% of the gross assessed value of commercial, business, and industrial real estate.

Users of the table are advised to check current state law in regard to how property taxes may impact their individual or business situation.
