INDIANA SALES DISCLOSURE FORM INSTRUCTIONS
Page 7
TABLE 2 – Other Deductions NOT covered under the Sales Disclosure Form
Listed below are certain deductions and credits that are available to lower property taxes in Indiana. Taxpayers may claim these benefits by filing an application with the Auditor in the County where the property is
situated. The mortgage deduction application also may be filed with the Recorder in the County where the property is situated. The previous tax bill will facilitate filing, but it is not required.
Applications for deductions against real property must be filed during the year in which the deduction is sought to be effective for taxes payable in the following year. The filing deadline for deduction applications for
mobile homes and manufactured homes that are not assessed as real property is the twelve months before March 31, unless noted below.
The deduction will appear on the tax bill the year following the assessment date. For additional information on these and other benefits, please consult Indiana Code §§ 6‐1.1‐12 and 6‐1.1‐20.9.
Note: The Sales Disclosure Form is not an application for the Homestead, or any other relevant deductions, for an annually assessed mobile or manufactured home.
