Indiana Code Title 6. Taxation § 6-1.1-12-44

Current as of January 02, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

Sec. 44. (a) A sales disclosure form under IC 6-1.1-5.5:

(1) that is submitted:

(A) as a paper form;  or

(B) electronically;

on or before January 15 of a calendar year in which property taxes are first due and payable to the county assessor by or on behalf of the purchaser of a homestead (as defined in section 37 of this chapter) assessed as real property;

(2) that is accurate and complete;

(3) that is approved by the county assessor as eligible for filing with the county auditor;  and

(4) that is filed:

(A) as a paper form;  or

(B) electronically;

with the county auditor by or on behalf of the purchaser;

constitutes an application for the deductions provided by sections 26 (before its expiration), 29 (before its expiration), 33 (before its expiration), 34 (before its expiration), and 37 of this chapter with respect to property taxes first due and payable in the calendar year referred to in subdivision (1).  The county auditor may not deny an application for the deductions provided by section 37 of this chapter because the applicant does not have a valid driver's license or state identification card with the address of the homestead property.

(b) Except as provided in subsection (c), if:

(1) the county auditor receives in a calendar year a sales disclosure form that meets the requirements of subsection (a);  and

(2) the homestead for which the sales disclosure form is submitted is otherwise eligible for a deduction referred to in subsection (a);

the county auditor shall apply the deduction to the homestead for property taxes first due and payable in the calendar year for which the homestead qualifies under subsection (a) and in any later year in which the homestead remains eligible for the deduction.

(c) Subsection (b) does not apply if the county auditor, after receiving a sales disclosure form from or on behalf of a purchaser under subsection (a)(4), determines that the homestead is ineligible for the deduction.
