Note:  Median Home Value for this county is from the 2000 U.S. Census.
Assessment-Sales Ratio is the median assessment to sales price ratio, from the State Equalization Study.
Counties with Assessment-Sales Ratios listed as "0" have studies that are incomplete.  Gross assessed values are assumed equal to home values.
Gross Assessed Value is the product of the Median Home Value and the Assessment Ratio.
Net Assessed Value is Gross Assessed Value less Deductions/Exemptions. Homestead deduction cannot exceed 50% of gross assessed value.
Tax Districts are areas within a county with particular combinations of government units.  The district Tax Rate is the sum of the tax rates of these units. 
Gross Tax is the District Tax Rate times Net Assessed Value.
Property Tax Replacement Credit Dollars are the PTRC Rate times the Gross Tax; they are subtracted from the Gross Tax.
The Homestead Credit Rate is multiplied by the Tax After PTRC.  Homestead Credit dollars are subtracted from Tax After PTRC to get the Tax Bill.
Rank, All Districts is the rank, from highest to lowest net tax, among all of Indiana's 1,960 tax districts.
Net Tax, Half the Median Value is the tax bill calculation starting with a home value equal to half the county's median.
Net Tax, Twice the Median Value is the tax bill calculation starting with a home value equal to twice the county's median.
