Marshall County panel proceeds with tax appeal for 663 Ull Trail in petitioners' absence
Summary
A Marshall County administrative hearing moved forward without the petitioners for a newly completed home at 663 Ull Trail in Wockerton; county appraisal staff described the property's construction timeline and noted the county's January 1, 2025 assessed value.
Marshall County administrative hearing board members proceeded with an appeal for a property at 663 Ull Trail in Wockerton on Sept. 17, 2025, after the petitioners did not appear.
County appraisal staff told the board the house on the parcel was started by building trades in 2022 and completed in 2024, making 2024 the first full assessment year for the new home. The assessor's representative said the petitioners had expressed “sticker shock” at the 2025 tax assessment and believed the home should be assessed at a lower value.
The assessor's representative explained the parcel includes a large lot and additional buildings, and said the county’s assessment as of Jan. 1, 2025, reflected those factors. The petitioners, Megan and Christopher Marler, did not call to reschedule and the hearing notice was not returned as undeliverable, the board said.
The hearing record contains no formal vote or change to the assessment during the session. The board adjourned the matter after receiving the assessor's testimony.
The board emphasized the procedural record: the hearing was held under IC 6-1.1 and proceeded in the petitioners’ absence after standard notice procedures were confirmed.
