Local judge to hear property tax class action suit
Lawyer News
Hancock County Circuit Court Judge Richard Culver spent two hours this morning in private chambers with attorneys representing the Marion County homeowners who filed a class action lawsuit challenging property assessments and the county assessor's office.
Some of the claims made in the lawsuit were addressed when the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance ordered a reassessment for all real property in the county.
The only remaining questions concern the timing of refunds to taxpayers who paid up before the deadline and who has jurisdiction over the issue.
The hearing was rescheduled for 9 a.m. next Monday and Culver issued a written statement. The court will determine if the remaining issues can be resolved by agreement.
