What is the Indiana Form 11 Notice of Assessment, and how does it affect my deadline?
The Form 11 is the county's Notice of Assessment of Land and Structures; the date it was mailed sets your appeal deadline — before May 1 means a June 15 deadline that year, on or after May 1 means June 15 of the year tax statements are mailed.
The Form 11 is the assessment notice that triggers your Indiana appeal clock.
What it is. The Form 11 Notice of Assessment of Land and Structures tells you the county's assessed value for your property for the January 1 assessment date. Not every county mails one every year, but when it does, the mailing date matters.
Why the mailing date controls. Under Ind. Code §6-1.1-15-1.1:
- If the Form 11 was mailed before May 1, your appeal deadline is June 15 of the assessment year.
- If it was mailed on or after May 1, your deadline is June 15 of the year the tax statements are mailed.
No Form 11? You may still initiate an appeal under the same June 15 framework even if no Form 11 was issued for the year.
What to check on it. Compare the assessed value on your Form 11 against what your home would actually sell for. If recent comparable sales of similar nearby homes point to a lower value, that gap is the basis for a Form 130 appeal.
