Marshall County hears multiple property tax appeals; assessor’s office says valuations will be held

On Oct. 9, 2025, the Marshall County Board of Review held administrative hearings on a series of property tax assessment appeals involving parcels in Culver and Plymouth. County assessor representatives presented sales-comparison data and, in each matter recorded in the transcript, stated the county would "hold" the January 1, 2025 assessed value; several petitioners did not appear.

The hearings are conducted under Indiana Code IC 6-1.1, the statute the board cited at the start of the session. The matters heard affect individual property owners and their assessed values for tax year 2025; any change to an assessed value can affect property tax bills and mortgage escrow amounts.

For each appeal the transcript records the parcel identifier, the petitioner when named, the county representative's explanation and the county's stated assessment position. The board opened each appeal, asked whether the petitioner was present and — when petitioners were absent or did not follow up — proceeded with the county's testimony. Bill Ohlinger and Phil Olinger (board members) and Angie Snyder (board member) presided; Edward (Ed) Leary, Peter Paul and a staff member identified as Larry spoke for the county assessor's office.
