How it works

You stay in control at every step. Nothing is filed without your written approval for that property and that year.

1. Check your property

Look up your address or parcel number. The page shows last year's assessed value, this year's value, the change, and where each number comes from. It shows an estimated range of tax savings. It is an estimate, not a promise. Look up a property.

2. Sign up

Signup is online and takes about 10 minutes. You will:

• name your companies (LLCs) and who signs for each one;
• sign the fee agreement;
• sign one power of attorney, State Form 23261, for each company. The official form asks for a notary. If a notary is needed, we arrange it with you.

3. Send your Form 11

Upload the Form 11 notice for each property and year. A photo is fine. The Form 11 is the official notice of assessment from your assessor. Its mailing date sets the appeal deadline. We cannot file without it.

You also answer a few questions: was anything built, torn down, or changed in use? The answers matter for the appeal.

4. Approve or skip each filing

Before the deadline, we email you a one-page brief for each property. It shows the estimated savings, our fee in dollars, and what a higher value would cost you. You click Approve or Skip. If you do not answer, nothing is filed.

5. Approve the evidence

Before the meeting with the assessor, you approve the evidence section by section. You can leave out any section. Business financial documents are shared only if you approve that section.

6. The meeting and the decision

Our representative meets the assessor. If there is no agreement, the county board (PTABOA) holds a hearing. We email you at every step. If the decision lowers the value, we send an invoice with a copy of the official decision. If it does not, there is no fee.

Where we work

We send letters to owners in Marion County and Lake County. We also accept owners in Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson and Porter counties who contact us.

The Indiana rule about large increases

Indiana law (IC 6-1.1-15-20) sets special rules for appeals of assessments that rose more than 5% over the prior year, unless the increase came from new improvements, zoning, or a change in use, and subject to other conditions in the statute (for example, for income-producing property, providing income information when requested). Whether those rules apply to a particular parcel is decided in the appeal.
