How will I know if my application has been approved?
If the county auditor approved your application, the county treasurer notifies by enclosing a notice showing the calculation of your tax reduction with the first tax bill you receive for payment the following year.


If the county auditor denied your application, you were required to receive a notice on or before November 1st informing you of and explaining the reason for denial.
