STEPS TO ADDRESS BEFORE THE LAST BUSINESS DAY IN DECEMBER
Filing Exemptions In Boone County
Start the process by confirming the newly purchased property is showing in your name vs the prior owner. This will require a call to the auditor's office (see offices tab) or if you have enough time before the end of the year you can email or text Mitch and he will try to confirm this for you.
Since you live in Boone County you can not file online, Typically you would complete this process in person, by mail or via email by sending your forms to jlasley@co.boone.in.us.
The exemption forms must be completed and dated in the calendar year for which the person wishes to obtain the deduction and filed with the county in the Auditor’s office or postmarked on or before January 5th of the immediately succeeding calendar year. For example, if the application is completed and dated on or before the last business day in December and filed with the county on or before January 5, 2023, the deduction application deadline would be satisfied for property taxes first due and payable in the next calendar year 2023.
The Auditor's Real Estate office is open from 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. They are closed for lunch from 12:00 - 1:00 PM.
Remember that taxes paid this year are actually for the prior year and taxes that relate to this year will actually be paid next year.
If you bought an existing home and the seller had a homestead exemption in place as of March 1, in the year you bought it, then the exemption should AUTOMATICALLY carry forward and be a deduction for this year’s taxes, payable next year.
To play it safe be sure to file for the exemption no later than the last business day in December.
Before completing the form please print out a copy for your records.

As A Seller... "I always felt relaxed and like his only client."
I always felt relaxed and like his only client. It is without hesitation that we recommend Mitch Rolsky as a real estate agent for both the buy and sell side.
We have worked with Mitch twice in the purchase of a downtown Indy home and then with the subsequent sale of the same house just over 2 years later. Mitch's guidance allowed us to purchase the home in a desirable location at a price level that was at the lower end of the market range at that time. During the sale of the home, Mitch paid no attention to what the home was sold for earlier but focused on what the market would bear. Mitch focused on selling the value of the home and the location as opposed to price. He knows the market extensively and set a selling price and sales strategy that worked perfectly in a softening seller's market.
We moved because of a career change which forced us to move away during the sales process. Mitch took care of everything from there....in essence, we left our entire belongings in the care of Mitch. Friendly, detailed, trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional are but a few of the attributes of Mitch. Thanks Mitch....
As A Buyer... "Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone."
Purchasing Indy real estate virtually from California during covid, was not within my comfort zone. I needed an agent to patiently show me things as though I was there myself, speak with blunt honesty and find balance between my "desire" list and a stable long term investment.
Mitch doesn't miss a beat! He is highly intelligent, engaged with his clients - stellar communicator with a wealth of wisdom not only through the home buying process, but in life. I always felt relaxed and like his only client, yet knew he was doing much hard work in the background.
I've heard in life that "your realtor is your best friend!" Best friends work for your best interest; he was always right there and always told it like it was....so appreciated!!! He exceeded all expectations and hope to work together again in the future!
