Online Tax Bill Lookup for Floyd County

Floyd County property tax bills can be searched online through the Indiana Gateway Tax Bill Lookup. This statewide tool covers all 92 Indiana counties and lets you pull up current and past tax bill information using a parcel number, owner name, or address. The Gateway system is the primary online route for Floyd County tax bill access, as the county does not maintain a separate county-level portal for this function.

The Indiana Gateway for Government Units also publishes budget and tax rate data for Floyd County taxing units. You can view assessed value data through the DLGF's assessed value search at in.gov/dlgf. For a broader parcel search with map views, try Beacon GIS, which provides parcel boundaries, ownership data, and sales history for many Indiana counties including Floyd.

Tax bills for the 2024 pay 2025 cycle were mailed on April 9th, with spring payments due May 12th and fall payments due November 10th. Check the Gateway system or contact the Treasurer directly for the most current due dates and balances on your parcel.

Plat Maps and the Floyd County Assessor

Plat maps for Floyd County property are available for in-person viewing at the Assessor's office in Room 100 at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany. The maps are accessible Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm. These maps show parcel boundaries, lot dimensions, and neighboring parcels, which can be useful when researching a property or checking survey information alongside assessed values.

The Assessor determines the assessed value for every parcel in Floyd County as of January 1 each year, following the rules in IC 6-1.1-4. Values are set at market value for most property types, with land and improvements assessed separately. The Assessor's office also maintains the records used to set annual tax rates and works in coordination with the DLGF to ensure values comply with state standards. If you have questions about how your property was valued, the Assessor is the right office to call first.

Property Tax Deductions in Floyd County

Floyd County property owners can apply for several deductions that reduce the assessed value used to calculate their tax bill. Indiana Code IC 6-1.1-12 defines the full list of available deductions. The most commonly filed is the homestead deduction for primary residences, along with the supplemental homestead deduction that adds a second layer of savings. Together these two deductions can significantly reduce the taxable value on an owner-occupied home in New Albany or anywhere else in Floyd County.

Other deductions under Indiana law include the Over 65 deduction, the Over 65 Circuit Breaker, deductions for blind or disabled property owners, and the Totally Disabled Veteran deduction. Solar and geothermal energy systems installed on a property may also qualify for an energy-related deduction. All deduction applications must be filed with the Floyd County Auditor by January 5 of the year following the assessment date. Missing this deadline costs you the deduction for the entire upcoming tax year.

The Property Tax Board of Appeals for Floyd County includes members Marvin Schmidt and David Riley, who handle assessment appeals at the local level. If you plan to appeal, file Form 130 by June 15 to start the process.

Floyd County Tax Payment and Penalties

Property taxes in Floyd County are due in two installments. Spring payments are due May 10 and fall payments are due November 10. Payments go to the Floyd County Treasurer at 311 Hauss Square, New Albany. For the 2024 pay 2025 cycle, the spring due date was set at May 12th. Always check with the Treasurer or the Gateway system for the exact due date each year, as holidays and weekends can shift the date by a day or two.

Indiana code sets clear penalties for late payments. A 5% penalty applies during the first 30 days after the due date. After 30 days, the penalty rises to 10%. These penalties add to the base tax owed and must be paid to bring the account current. Ongoing nonpayment can eventually lead to a tax sale under IC 6-1.1-22. If you are behind on payments, contact Treasurer Steve Burks at 812-948-5477 to discuss your situation before a sale is filed.
