Why should the taxpayers of Indianapolis give up property tax dollars on land not being used directly as part of the airport?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490253182039581408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-7364164158531223602011-09-24T18:50:42.064-04:002011-09-24T18:50:42.064-04:00Jon - you bring up a very interesting point.

If they are considered business personal and not land improvements, then they would be required to pay property taxes - unless an abatement is awarded by the City.<br /><br />As for the airport - they are keeping all the land they have, even if they do not need it for aviation purposes. They plan to build an industrial park on much of it. They will lease the land and any buildings built will be tax free. This is just their way of getting property taxes - they simply 'save' the businesses the property tax amount and charge the lease fee -- so they keep all of the taxes that way. This is wrong, in my opinion. It will affect Wayne and Decatur the most, but it also costs all county taxpayers. In addition, they will be competing unfairly with nearby industrial parks and established businesses because of the tax free status that the airport has. <br /><br />The Mayor, whoever that ends up being, needs to step in and stop this.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-26888497456315000952011-09-24T18:44:19.917-04:002011-09-24T18:44:19.917-04:00Anon - you ask a very good question.

I'd have to agree that it seems some measure should be taken to flag these by the Assessor. It would seem doable - at least for those who previously filed.<br /><br />But, certainly one has to wonder at the wisdom of granting any sort of financing or tax abatement to a company that is not up to date on its obligations to the City.Had Enough Indy?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09673791504434523246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-5102350745025980212011-09-24T17:28:44.430-04:002011-09-24T17:28:44.430-04:00Question HEI, if the airport builds their solar ar...Question HEI, if the airport builds their solar array is it off the property tax books as well? And, secondly if they aren't using that land why doesn't it revert back to the city?Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09490253182039581408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1826828000189814347.post-14913649701703557552011-09-24T12:51:35.583-04:002011-09-24T12:51:35.583-04:00Doesn;t the Township Assessor, County Assessor and...Doesn;t the Township Assessor, County Assessor and County Auditor have some duty here in view of the unassessed or underassessed property that would result for the unfiled 103/104 forms?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
