Property Tax-Aide features the Over 65 Credit, Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit, and Homestead Standard Deduction and Supplemental Deduction programs.

The information on this page is updated as new information becomes available by the relevant tax agencies.

Over 65 Credit

Starting with taxes due in 2026, Indiana’s Over 65 Deduction has been replaced with a new Over 65 Credit. Homeowners can no longer apply for the deduction for taxes based on the 2025 assessment year and beyond. Instead, eligible individuals may receive a credit of up to $150 on their 2026 property tax bill. If someone was already receiving the Over 65 Deduction, counties may automatically switch them to the new credit—though some homeowners may still need to file an application with their county auditor by January 15, 2026.

The new credit has no residency requirement, no cap on the home’s assessed value, and uses different income limits than the previous deduction.

Application Deadline

Complete, sign, and file application with the county auditor on or before January 15 of the calendar year in which the property taxes are first due and payable.

Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit

The Over 65 Circuit Breaker Credit provides a credit equal to the tax liability that exceeds the prior year’s liability by 2%. This program prevents the property tax liability on qualified homestead property from increasing by more than 2% over the previous year’s tax liability.

Application Deadline

Complete, sign, and file application with the county auditor on or before January 15 of the calendar year in which the property taxes are first due and payable.

Homestead Standard Deduction and Supplemental Deduction

The Homestead Standard Deduction is allowed for each qualified homestead.

Application Deadline

To get the deduction for a given tax year, you must complete and submit the application to the county auditor by January 15 of the year the taxes are due. If approved, the deduction will apply that year and continue in future years as long as you remain eligible.
