IC 6-1.1-22-8.1 requires the Department of Local Government Finance ("Department") to prescribe the county treasurer's property tax comparison statement, or the "TS-1."

Under the statute, the TS-1 is required to contain important information about a taxpayer's current and historical property tax liability. The form is designed for the county to supply to taxpayers basic information about their assessed value, gross property tax rate, deductions and related information for the current year and for prior years. This form is designed, as well, to contain all of the information contained in the Form 11 Notice of Assessment.

The Department will be the sole agency approving tax statements. Each county should send proofs of their tax bills to the Department for approval prior to submission to their printer. The State Board of Accounts will no longer be reviewing TS-1 forms.

If the county fails to use the TS-1 form, as required by law, the county’s tax bill will be declared invalid and in violation of the requirements of Indiana Code section 6-1.1-22-8.1. As a result of this violation, the county will be required to re-print and mail new, compliant tax bills to taxpayers.
