The Vigo County government held a public hearing on September 26, 2025, to discuss a proposed amendment to the certified statement of values for the upcoming tax year. The meeting, led by Larry Hutchings and County Assessor Kevin Gardner, aimed to provide transparency and gather community input on the changes.
During the session, there was an opportunity for public comment; however, no residents stepped forward to voice their opinions or concerns. This lack of engagement may reflect either satisfaction with the proposed changes or a general disinterest in the tax certification process.
The amendment is significant as it sets the foundation for property tax assessments in the county, directly impacting residents' financial responsibilities. While the specifics of the amendment were not detailed in the meeting, such adjustments can influence funding for local services and infrastructure.
As the meeting concluded without public input, it highlights the importance of ongoing communication between the county government and its residents. Future discussions may benefit from increased outreach to ensure that community members feel informed and involved in decisions that affect their lives.
