Daniels May Order Marion County Reassessment
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels may order a reassessment of property in Marion County. State law gives the Governor the authority to do so. Budget Director Ryan Kitchell says the Administration just received, after weeks of waiting, information concerning land parcel level data concerning Marion County properties. Kitchell says depending on what it shows, the Governor may order the reaassessment. The Governor is expected to make an announcement concerning property taxes this afternoon. Property taxes have risen on average 34 percent in the County which has led to numerous protests and a class action lawsuit.
