AARP Indiana Hosts Virtual Event Discussing Property Taxes

We know that property taxes are critical to the well-being of our communities. But for too many of our neighbors, rising property taxes are threatening their ability to stay in their homes as they age. We urge you to take a listen to this conversation with experts and state leaders about Indiana property taxes.

The virtual event, Hoosier Property Taxes: Where We’ve Been & Where We’re Going, took place on Wednesday, January 22 at 10 AM ET. Attendees learned about:

• Indiana’s property tax system and how it got to this point.
• Survey results from older homeowners about the impact that rising property taxes is having on them.
