The Office of the Pike County Assessor is responsible for accurately and uniformly determining the market-value-in-use of every property in the county.

This is achieved by using three approaches to value:

  • Cost
  • Income
  • Sales Comparison

The Assessor maintains records on the physical characteristics for all properties in the county including building size & type, land area, and location. The State of Indiana now requires annual adjustments of assessments to reflect changes in the market. In order to adjust property valuations, the Assessor tracks real estate market conditions and sales data.

The State sets the rules and regulations that all Indiana counties must follow in determining the estimates of market-value-in-use for each property. That value-in-use then becomes the assessed value. The assessment date is January 1st of every year.

Pursuant to I.C. 6-1.1-4-4.2, the State now requires that an annual visit of 25% of the county’s parcels be revisited by our field representative. This means that 100% of our county’s parcels will be re-evaluated every 4 years. We encourage you to contact us with any questions or concerns regarding your assessment.

Mission Statement:

To have accurate, fair, and equitable assessments for all taxable properties in accordance with the State of Indiana for the preparation of the annual assessment roll and to do so in a timely and efficient manner.
