Indiana Code Title 5. State and Local Administration § 5-20-2-4

Sec. 4. Income Limits. (a) The governing body shall establish by ordinance an aggregate acceptable income amount for the year immediately preceding the calendar year in which a mortgage is requested, for the mortgagor and all individuals, except minor children of the mortgagor, who intend to reside with the mortgagor in one (1) dwelling unit.  The purpose of this aggregate acceptable income amount is to limit the assistance provided by this chapter to individuals of low and moderate income.

(b) The governing body may consider the following factors before it adopts the ordinance provided in subsection (a) of this section:

(c) Mortgage loans under this chapter are limited to persons having adjusted gross income for Indiana individual income tax purposes of law and moderate income.  However, at least ninety percent (90%) of the value of home mortgages made from any issue of bonds will be made with respect to mortgagors whose adjusted family income does not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the median income of all families residing within the metropolitan area of the county or municipality as determined by the governing body.  For the purpose of determining the income of a person who was not a resident of the state of Indiana for the prior taxable year, the person's adjusted gross income shall be computed as if he were a resident of the state of Indiana for the prior taxable year.
