Bill > HB1027

This bill amends Indiana law to specifically limit the fees that a county treasurer can charge for providing a receipt of a property tax payment. The bill modifies an existing statute about public record fees by establishing that a county treasurer may charge a fee for a property tax payment receipt, but this fee cannot exceed the greater of either $1 or the actual cost of copying the document. This means that if the actual cost of copying the document is less than $1, the fee will be capped at that lower amount. The change is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and is part of a broader set of regulations governing public agency fees for document copying and certification. The bill aims to ensure that county treasurers do not charge excessive fees for providing simple documentation of tax payments, which helps protect taxpayers from unnecessary financial burden when requesting proof of their tax payments.
