Correct office term: County Assessor.
How the Indiana system works
County assessors manage valuation; county treasurers generally manage tax billing and payments.
County or township assessors maintain property record cards. Form 130 starts an appeal, county PTABOA hears unresolved cases, and property taxes are generally paid in arrears.

Before opening a property portal
- Identify whether the task concerns value, payment, recorded documents or an appeal.
- Use the official office or authorized portal listed on a completed county page.
- Do not assume a county office handles municipal assessment where the state uses city or town systems.
- Confirm filing dates for the current year before submitting an exemption or appeal.
