Homestead exemption in Indiana
Homestead Standard Deduction, which includes an automatic Supplemental Homestead Deduction. Marion County lets owner-occupants of a main home, plus up to one acre, deduct whichever is less: 60% of assessed value or $48,000. A supplemental deduction is added automatically.
Application process: The county auditor requires a homestead application from you. You can apply online in Marion County, while Hendricks County offers e-filing. If the title changes, file the application again.
Filing deadline: January 15, which allows the exemption to appear on this year's tax bill.

Additional Indiana property tax rules to know
- The supplemental homestead deduction applies automatically alongside the standard deduction. The reduction in Marion County equals 40% of the assessed value that remains following the standard deduction.
- Hendricks County's schedule sets the standard deduction at $48,000 (tax year 2025, payable 2026), then $40,000 (2026 pay 2027). It eventually falls to $0 by 2030 pay 2031. The supplemental rate begins at 40%, increases to 46%, and then goes higher.
- Homeowners eligible for the standard homestead deduction receive an extra credit of one-tenth of their tax liability, up to $300. For taxes payable in 2027, apply by January 15, 2027.
- Failure to notify the auditor within 60 days after a property loses homestead deduction eligibility results in the deduction amount and a 10% civil penalty owed by the owner.
