Map search and GIS tools

The Johnson County Beacon map tools support property research when location, parcel boundaries, aerial imagery, or nearby features matter. The county GIS page describes the interactive mapping website as a tool for locating property by owner name, address, or parcel ID, displaying layers and aerial photography, measuring distances, printing maps, identifying features, and obtaining ownership information.

For map-based research, use the Beacon map search. The map interface includes tools for selecting parcel features, measuring length and area, exporting selected features, zooming to coordinates, and printing maps as PDF or HTML.

The Beacon comparable search is useful when reviewing similar properties by property characteristics or sale-related criteria. The Beacon comparable property search includes filters for category, neighborhood, taxing district, property class, acreage, finished living area, total square footage, bedrooms, year built, assessed value, sale price, sale date, fireplace, central air, and stories.

Use this tool when a simple owner, address, or parcel lookup is not enough and you need to compare properties by physical details, value ranges, or sale criteria.

Assessor records and assessment issues

The Johnson County Assessor handles assessment of real and personal property and real estate and personal property appeals. The office oversees reassessment, countywide assessment equalization, omitted property, taxing district assessed values, mobile home assessments, and certification of current assessments to the County Auditor’s Office.

The Assessor also uses recent land sales disclosures to establish land rates and values in neighborhoods and may adjust base land values for location, nearby amenities, and other influence factors.

Property assessment appeals

If a property record or assessed value needs review, Johnson County provides an assessment appeal process through the Assessor and the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals. An appeal begins by filing Form 130, Taxpayer’s Notice to Initiate an Appeal, with the local assessing official.

After an informal conference, the assessor may approve or deny the appeal. If denied, the appeal is forwarded to the county Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals for review. If the board denies the appeal, instructions are provided for appealing to the Indiana Board of Tax Review.

Objective issues may include the wrong person, a deduction or exemption issue, a clerical or mathematical mistake, the property description, or the legality or constitutionality of a property tax or assessment. Johnson County also notes that objective claims may be made for up to three years of assessments with Form 130, and refund requests also require Form 17T.

Tax mailing address changes

For tax mailing address changes, Johnson County directs users to the Auditor’s Office. The change request form requires a parcel number and property address, and it asks for the new mailing address, phone number, email, primary residence status, owner status, signature, and request date.

Completed forms may be mailed to the Johnson County Auditor at 86 W Court St, Franklin, IN 46131, emailed to [email protected], or faxed to 317-736-7021. The form states that users with more than five properties should email [email protected] for a different form.
