Summary

County Assessor Terry Watson and Chief Deputy Assessor Amanda Pahmeier explained the 2025–2026 property assessment process to residents at the May 6 meeting and emphasized that most of the office’s work is governed by state statute and standardized cost and market tables. "Most of what we do is guided by statutes with the State of Indiana," Watson said, adding that property owners who disagree with an assessment may appeal to the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals.
Resident P. J. Moore of Georgetown Township said his property likely declined in market value after water damage but his assessed value rose; the assessors explained appeals steps and noted the county website includes instructions. The board did not take action on individual appeals during the meeting; the assessors directed residents to the formal appeals process.
