Indianapolis property tax appeals

[Ciel Tierra]

I have submitted two property tax appeals for Indianapolis recently.  It was relatively painless and the paperwork was straight forward, however after speaking with someone at the Marion county property tax appeals office, I learned that my appeal may take two years!

I wonder if anyone has used a professional tax appeal service in the area and whether they may be able to expedite the process.  Also if you have done an appeal recently I wonder how long it took.

Thanks

 @Ciel TierraFrom experience it does take a couple of years in Indianapolis.  You need to submit separate paperwork for each year to get the basis lowered for the long term.  Additionally, it is best to have an appraisal available from the same time period to lower the taxes.  Purchase price does not necessarily get a lowered assessment.

I have done this myself and it is easy and painless.  It just takes a long time to get it processed.  Good luck!
