We are responsible for the Assessment of all property in our County. Property includes all improvements on the land. Taxpayers are encouraged to remember that March 1st of any year is the assessment date, and taxes are always a year behind. Vermillion County has 12,600 parcels of property, and it is important for taxpayers to be aware of their assessments. Property cards can be obtained from the GIS link at the Vermillion County web site, or we will be happy to send you a copy of your assessment record card.
For the March 1st Assessment date, we will mail a notice of assessment. If you believe your assessment is higher than market value, you may file an appeal, in writing, within 45 days of this notice. Many properties in Vermillion County were subjected to a decrease in value, due to the market adjustments.
Please use this link to obtain additional information about the appeals process: http://www.in.gov/dlgf/files/PropertyTaxAppealsProcess.pdf
If you believe your property is valued too high, you will need to appeal this assessment to the Vermillion County Property Tax Assessment Board. This board is made up of local individuals, appointed by the Vermillion County Commissioners and Council.
Property Tax Assessment Board members are:
Thomas Gosnell - Fairview
Janet Hughes - Perrysville
Joan Doane - Clinton
