Real Estate Transfers

For each parcel, the following processing fees are due:

The County Auditor shall keep a transfer book, arranged by townships, cities, and towns (taxing districts). In the transfer book the auditor shall enter a description, for the purpose of taxation, of land that is conveyed by deed or partition, the date of the conveyance, the names of the parties, and the post office address of the grantee. In addition, the auditor shall endorse on the deed or instrument of conveyance the words "duly entered for taxation subject to final acceptance for transfer," "not taxable," "has already been listed for taxation," "or duly entered for taxation." (IC 6-1.1-5-4)

NOTE:  As of October, 2008, we no longer enter deed information into transfer books.  We have all current information entered into the computer.
