The County Assessor

Jonathan Watson

While not mentioned in the Indiana constitution like the recorder and the auditor, the assessor is subject to the same constitutional residency requirements by statute.[1] With that said, the assessor’s duties are established by constitutional requirement, which states:

The General Assembly shall provide, by law, for a uniform and equal rate of property assessment and taxation and shall prescribe regulations to secure a just valuation for taxation of all property, both real and personal.[2]
