You can also check whether a parcel has any unpaid balances.

Property Assessment in Pulaski County

Every parcel in Pulaski County is assessed as of January 1 each year under IC 6-1.1-4. Indiana sets assessed value at 100% of market value for most property types. The Pulaski County Assessor in room 120 of the courthouse uses market sales data and state guidelines to set values. For farmland, a different method applies: values are based on the land's agricultural productivity rather than comparable market sales, which generally keeps farmland assessments lower than market prices would suggest.

If you believe your Pulaski County assessed value is too high, you can challenge it by filing a Form 130 petition. The deadline to file is typically June 15 of the assessment year. The county Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA) hears evidence and issues a decision. If you disagree with that result, you can appeal further to the Indiana Board of Tax Review. The Pulaski County Assessor at 574.946.3845 can walk you through what to expect and what documents you should bring to support your case.

State oversight rules under IC 6-1.1-35 allow the DLGF to review and adjust county assessment practices. This keeps Pulaski County in line with state standards and gives property owners an additional layer of protection against uneven assessments.

Pulaski County Property Tax Payment Dates

Pulaski County property taxes are due in two installments each year. Spring taxes are due May 10 and fall taxes are due November 10. These dates are set by state law and apply to every Indiana county, including Pulaski. Bills are mailed in April. If you don't receive a bill, contact the Pulaski County Treasurer at 574.946.3632 or treasurersoffice@pulaskicounty.in.gov to confirm your mailing address and get a copy of the bill.

Late payments carry a 5% penalty for the first 30 days past due. After that, the penalty rises to 10%. Continued non-payment can result in a tax lien and eventually a county tax sale proceeding under IC 6-1.1-24. Pulaski County holds tax sales for properties with unpaid taxes. If a parcel reaches the tax sale stage, the owner still has a redemption period during which the property can be reclaimed by paying the full delinquent amount plus costs. The Treasurer's Office can give you current payoff figures for any delinquent parcel.

If you own property in Pulaski County and move, notify the Auditor's Office at 574.946.3653 to update your mailing address. Bills go to the address on file, and missing a bill does not excuse a late payment under Indiana law.

Tax Deductions for Pulaski County Property Owners

Property owners in Pulaski County can lower their tax bills through deductions administered by the Auditor's Office. The most common is the homestead deduction, which applies to owner-occupied primary residences. It includes both a standard deduction and a supplemental homestead credit under IC 6-1.1-12. To get the homestead deduction, you must own and occupy the property as your primary home. Applications go through the Pulaski County Auditor at 574.946.3653.

Other available deductions in Pulaski County include the mortgage deduction for homeowners with an outstanding mortgage, the over-65 deduction for qualifying senior homeowners with income and assessed value limits, and the blind or disabled deduction. Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 100% may qualify for a full property tax exemption on their primary residence. Surviving spouses of veterans who were receiving the exemption may continue it. All deductions must be filed by January 5 to apply to that year's tax bill. The Pulaski County Auditor can confirm which deductions are already filed on your parcel and whether you qualify for any you haven't yet applied for.

Indiana tax caps also limit how much Pulaski County can collect from any single parcel: 1% of assessed value for homestead property, 2% for other residential, and 3% for non-residential property. These circuit breaker limits are applied before billing and show on your tax bill as credits if the calculated tax exceeds the cap.
