The Indiana 1% Property Tax Cap & Escrow Rule
Unlike many national calculators that default property taxes to standard national averages (1.2%–1.5%), Indiana home financing operates under a constitutional property tax framework:
- The 1% Homestead Cap: Taxes on primary owner-occupied residences in Indiana are capped at 1% of gross assessed value (prior to local voter-approved referendum levies).
- Escrow Realities: Moving across county lines, such as transitioning from Hendricks County to Marion County or Johnson County, shifts local effective tax rates, directly adjusting the monthly escrow portion of your payment.
