Online Search for Randolph County Property Tax Records

Randolph County offers two ways to search and pay property taxes online. The Municipay payment portal handles online payments for Randolph County property taxes. The LowTaxInfo platform gives you read-only access to Randolph County parcel records including assessed values, deduction summaries, and tax billing history. Both tools are free to use for lookups.

The county also maintains a Geographic Information System with detailed aerial views and property card access. As noted in county materials: "The County maintains a Geographic Information System (GIS) with a wealth of information including an aerial view of your property and access to property card data." The GIS is accessible from the county website and shows parcel boundaries, ownership data, and links to the property record card for each parcel. This is particularly useful for large parcels, agricultural land, or any situation where you need to confirm lot lines or acreage.

The Indiana Gateway Tax Bill Lookup and the DLGF Assessed Value Search are also available for Randolph County parcels and draw from official state data sources.

Assessment of Randolph County Property

All Randolph County real property is assessed as of January 1 under IC 6-1.1-4. Indiana requires assessed values to reflect 100% of market value. The Randolph County Assessor uses market sales from comparable properties and state valuation guidelines to set values for residential, commercial, and industrial parcels. The county's large number of real estate parcels means the assessment team handles a significant annual workload updating values and processing changes from sales and improvements.

Business personal property is also assessed in Randolph County, covering more than 7,000 filings. Personal property assessment follows a different schedule from real estate and requires business owners to file Form 102 or Form 103 each year. Linsey Johnting at (765) 584-3309 is the designated contact for PTABOA matters, so if you have questions about appealing either a real estate or personal property assessment, she's the right person to call first.

Appeals of Randolph County assessed values use a Form 130 filed by June 15. The PTABOA reviews the case and issues a written decision. Further appeals go to the Indiana Board of Tax Review. State oversight authority under IC 6-1.1-35 gives the DLGF oversight of county assessment practices statewide.

Tax Payment Dates and Delinquencies in Randolph County

Randolph County property taxes are paid in two installments. Spring taxes were due May 12, 2025, and fall taxes are due November 10, 2025. These dates are set annually and may shift slightly by year; check with the Randolph County Treasurer at (765) 584-8508 to confirm the current year's dates. Payments can be made online through the Municipay portal, by mail, or in person at 100 S Main Street, Room 103, Winchester.

Late payments trigger a 5% penalty in the first 30 days, then 10% after that. Continued delinquency can lead to a tax sale under IC 6-1.1-24. For personal property tax judgments in Randolph County, contact American Financial Credit Services (AFCS) at 1-888-317-2327 extension 500. AFCS handles collection of delinquent personal property judgments as a separate process from regular real estate tax delinquencies. If you owe on a business personal property account and it's reached judgment status, AFCS is the right call rather than the Treasurer's Office.

Deductions for Randolph County Property Owners

The Randolph County Auditor processes all property tax deductions for parcels in the county. The homestead deduction is available for primary residences and includes a standard deduction and supplemental credit under IC 6-1.1-12. Other deductions include the mortgage deduction, the over-65 deduction with income and assessed value limits, the blind or disabled deduction, and veteran deductions. The 100% disabled veteran exemption eliminates property taxes on a qualifying veteran's primary residence. All deduction applications must be filed by January 5 to affect that year's tax bill.

If you recently bought a Randolph County property and want to transfer deductions or add new ones, start with the Auditor's Office. The GIS system and property card database can confirm what deductions, if any, are currently showing on your parcel. Indiana's circuit breaker tax caps apply in Randolph County: 1% for homestead property, 2% for other residential, and 3% for non-residential parcels. These caps are applied automatically and appear as credits on your tax bill if they reduce your amount due.
