Property tax due dates and late payment penalties
Marion County property taxes are due twice a year. Current due dates listed by the Treasurer’s Office are May 11, 2026 and November 10, 2026.
You may pay the full year on the first due date or pay in two installments. Statements are sent with two coupons, one for each due date, for mail, in-person, or bank payments.
Late penalties depend on timing and whether back taxes are owed on the same property. If taxes are paid within 30 days of the due date and there are no back taxes on the same property, the penalty is 5 percent of the unpaid tax. If taxes and penalty remain unpaid after 30 days, the penalty increases to 10 percent of the unpaid tax.
Use the Indy.gov due date information page to check Marion County property tax due dates.
Tax history reports, paperless bills, and refunds
Marion County taxpayers can view and print prior-year property tax payment history online for free. Walk-in or mail requests have a $1.00 fee, and requested years must be prepaid by cash, personal check, or money order.
Paperless billing is available for taxpayers who register an account and enroll parcels for electronic statements. Account users can also manage paperless status after signing in.
If you overpaid a property tax bill, the refund process starts by completing the claim form and mailing it to the Treasurer’s Office with proof of payment. The stated processing time is 6–8 weeks.
Tax sale and unpaid property tax help
For a property scheduled for a Marion County tax lien sale, the Treasurer’s Office directs taxpayers to pay all unpaid taxes, penalties, special assessments, solid waste and stormwater service fees, and the tax sale administration fee by the listed deadline to stop the sale.
Partial payments before the tax sale reduce the debt but do not stop the tax lien sale. Taxpayers are encouraged to contact the Treasurer’s Office about tax sale payment plan eligibility.
For properties affected by a sale, review the Indy.gov tax sale guidance to learn how to stop a Marion County tax sale.
