Tax bill timing and due dates

Vigo County property taxes are due in two equal installments on or before May 10 and November 10. Tax bills are mailed once per year on or before April 15.

If a due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday observed by county government, the required act is timely when completed by the next business day.

Failure to receive a tax bill does not remove the taxpayer’s responsibility for payment or penalties when delinquent. Taxpayers can view or print the tax bill online and should verify that the mailing address on the bill is correct.

Payment rules, escrow, and partial payments

Vigo County accepts USPS postmarks for regular tax payments when the envelope is postmarked on or before the tax due date. Postmarks do not apply to properties being certified for Tax Sale.

Partial payments may be made at any time in any amount. The full balance must still be paid by the due date to avoid penalties on the unpaid balance.

If a tax bill shows “IN ESCROW,” the property taxes are escrowed with a mortgage payment. Contact the mortgage company to confirm payment.

Other Vigo County property tax offices

Several Vigo County offices support the property tax process. The Treasurer collects property tax payments, while other offices handle assessment, appeals, tax rates, refunds, exemptions, and related questions.

• The County Assessor maintains records for townships without a township assessor, hears real estate and personal property appeals, and calculates inheritance tax.

Properties sold in the Tax Sale may be redeemed by the property owner. The Auditor’s Office provides more information about redemption.

Vigo County may use TRECS to collect unpaid property taxes by intercepting Indiana individual state income tax refunds. If delinquent taxes are not paid within 30 days from the notification date, the state refund may be applied to the outstanding debt.
