| First hearing body | County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA); further appeal to the Indiana Board of Tax Review (IBTR), then the Indiana Tax Court |
| Who may represent you | Tax representatives must submit a power of attorney form at the same time as the Form 130 filing (Hamilton County Assessor, citing Senate Enrolled Act 163, noted as new for 2026) |

What wins in Indiana
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
