What is the effective property tax rate in Indiana for 2026?

Indiana's average effective property tax rate is about 0.84% of home value. That figure is the statewide average ratio of property tax actually paid to market value, so your local bill can be higher or lower depending on your county, city, and school district rates.

How much is property tax on a $400,000 home in Indiana?

Indiana property tax averages about 0.84% of a home’s value each year. This estimator applies that statewide effective rate to your home value to project an annual and monthly property tax bill for Indiana in 2026.

How it works

Indiana’s average effective property tax rate is 0.84% — the statewide ratio of property tax actually paid to market value. The estimate applies that rate to your home’s value after any homestead exemption:

taxable value = home value - homestead exemption
annual tax    = taxable value x 0.84%
monthly tax   = annual tax / 12

The tool can also subtract Indiana’s homestead exemption of $48,000 from the value before applying the rate. Indiana’s standard homestead deduction removes $48,000 (or 60% of assessed value if lower) for owner-occupied primary residences, before the supplemental deduction.

Example

Take a $400,000 home in Indiana. Applying the $48,000 homestead exemption first gives a taxable value of $352,000, so the estimated annual tax is $352,000 × 0.84% = about $2,957 ($246 per month).

Notes

This is an estimate only and not financial or tax advice. It uses Indiana’s 0.84% statewide average effective rate; your actual bill depends on local county, city, and school-district millage, assessment ratios, assessment caps, and any local exemptions or credits. For an exact figure, confirm with the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance and your county auditor.
