What if my assessment is too low?
If it is too low, we identify and outline our findings in a letter to you and give you the option of how to repair the assessment with the assessing officials.

Why do assessors raise my value?
Assessing officials have a difficult job in applying tax rules and valuing your property accordingly. Their jobs are overwhelmingly difficult and many do not understand the demands they are placed under. Integrity's philosophy is to work with the assessor to achieve a fair and accurate property assessment.

What is a reassessment?
Every parcel of real property including land and structures are reassessed to update tax values. Each state is different when a reassessment occurs, but generally the cycle is about every two to four years. A "Notice of Assessment" is issued when your assessment changes, and a taxpayer is generally given 30-45 days to appeal the new value.

Can my assessment increase?
It is not uncommon for other consultants, attorneys or accountants who do not understand the tax laws to obtain an assessment increase.

Will Integrity file a company’s Tangible Business Personal Property Return?
Integrity can file business personal property forms before the filing deadline of May 15 of each year with prior written authorization from the taxpayer.

What do you require from our company in order to begin a personal property tax review?
Integrity requires a copy of your most recent personal property tax return filed and a fixed asset listing as of March 1 of the current year.

Is there any type of personal property procedural manual available to Indiana taxpayers on instructions for filing personal property tax returns?
Effective March 1, 2003, the personal property rule available to all taxpayers is titled 50 IAC 4.2 prepared by the Department of Local Government Finance. Please click on "News" link for direct assistance.
