Vanderburgh County property tax bills will be going in the mail – as soon as Friday, April 4, 2025. I have attached a portion of a sample property tax bill that has the heading “SPECIAL MESSAGE TO PROPERTY OWNER”. For some property owners there may be a new item listed in TABLE 4: OTHER CHARGES/ADJUSTMENTS . . .LEVYING AUTHORITY – Drain – Pigeon Creek Watershed. A residential parcel will have a $7.00 amount listed. If you own farm ground, commercial or other types of property within the Pigeon Creek Watershed, it will be a different amount. This is a newly established special assessment as per Indiana Code # 14-30.5 ARTICLE 30.5. WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONS. . . enacted in 2023. The Pigeon Creek Watershed Development Commission was established in Vanderburgh County on September 17, 2024 by the Indiana Natural Resources Commission. The funds will be used to address flood damage reduction, drainage, storm water management, recreation, or water infrastructure needs. This is a watershed area, which means the storm water from your property flows into Pigeon Creek based on United States Geological Survey (USGS) hydrologic maps.
