Fishers homeowners and other Hamilton County property owners have until Tuesday, Nov. 10, to pay the fall installment of their 2026 property tax bills.

Indiana law splits each year’s property tax bill into two equal installments, due May 10 and Nov. 10. The spring payment was due May 11 this year because May 10 fell on a Sunday. The fall deadline lands on a weekday, so there is no extra day this time.

The fall payment coupon came with the tax statement the county mailed in the spring. Property owners who have misplaced it can look up their parcel and balance on the county’s tax website, hamiltoncounty.in.gov/taxes.

How to pay

Hamilton County offers several ways to pay:

• Online through the county’s tax website. Convenience fees apply; the county has charged $1 for an e-check and 2.5% for credit and debit cards. Online payments can take two to three business days to show up in county records.
• By mail to the Hamilton County Treasurer, 33 N. Ninth St., Suite 112, Noblesville, IN 46060. Payments must be postmarked by Nov. 10. A postage-meter date does not count.
• In person at the Treasurer’s Office in the Historic Courthouse in Noblesville, open 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
• By drop box at the Historic Courthouse.
• At participating local banks, with the tax statement in hand, before the deadline.

Late penalties

Missing the deadline costs money. Under state law, a payment made within 30 days after the due date carries a 5% penalty on the unpaid tax, as long as no earlier taxes are delinquent on the property. After 30 days, or if prior taxes are owed, the penalty rises to 10%.

The county has also cautioned that partial payments do not protect a property from penalties, fees or a tax sale.

New credit already on the bill

This is the first year Hoosier homeowners are seeing the relief in Senate Enrolled Act 1, the property tax overhaul lawmakers passed in 2025. Homestead bills now include a credit equal to 10% of the tax owed, up to $300 a year. Qualifying homeowners 65 and older on fixed incomes can receive an additional $150 credit.

Those credits were figured into the 2026 statements for property owners who qualify, so no extra step is needed to claim them when making the fall payment. Homeowners who believe a deduction or credit is missing from their bill should contact the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office.
