How to read these rankings
Indiana certifies one combined rate for each tax district, so a city's rate can differ from one side of town to the other. Bills are then capped at 1% of gross assessed value for a homestead, 2% for other residential property and farmland and 3% for other property, so a high rate doesn't always mean a high bill.
The rankings cover the 88 places with at least 10,000 residents, using Census Bureau population estimates for 2025. Many places have more than one rate, because they span school or tax districts. Each is ranked by its main rate: the rate in the school district that shares its name, or where there isn't one, the middle of its rates. The full range is shown underneath. Your own rate depends on your address. The middle rate among them is 2.7242 per $100.

What the gap means in dollars
On $100,000 of net assessed value, Gary's rate comes to $8,100 a year, and Huntertown's to $1,750: a difference of $6,350. Indiana's caps can bring the actual bill below that, especially where rates are highest.
