How to appeal your Brown County assessment
Brown County reassesses property values every year. If your assessment is higher than what your home would actually sell for, Indiana law (IC 6-1.1-15) gives you the right to contest it by filing Form 130 with the County Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals. Most successful Indiana appeals combine an over-valuation argument (supported by comparable sales) with a uniformity argument (supported by neighbor assessments).
