Indiana Code Title 6. Taxation § 6-1.1-18.5-1

Sec. 1. As used in this chapter:

“Ad valorem property tax levy for an ensuing calendar year” means the total property taxes imposed by a civil taxing unit for current property taxes collectible in that ensuing calendar year. However, if a township elects to establish both a township firefighting levy and a township emergency services levy under IC 36-8-13-4(b)(2), the township firefighting levy and township emergency services levy shall be combined and considered as a single levy for purposes of this chapter.

“Civil taxing unit” means any taxing unit except a school corporation.

“Maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy for the preceding calendar year” means, for purposes of determining a maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy under section 3 of this chapter for property taxes imposed for an assessment date after January 15, 2011, the civil taxing unit's maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy for the calendar year immediately preceding the ensuing calendar year, as that levy was determined under section 3 of this chapter (regardless of whether the taxing unit imposed the entire amount of the maximum permissible ad valorem property tax levy in the immediately preceding year).

“Taxable property” means all tangible property that is subject to the tax imposed by this article and is not exempt from the tax under IC 6-1.1-10 or any other law. For purposes of sections 2 and 3 of this chapter, the term “taxable property” is further defined in section 6 of this chapter.
