Sec. 9. (a) Except as provided in subsection (e) and section 12(b) of this chapter, tax liability billed on a provisional statement is due in two (2) equal installments on May 10 and November 10 of the year following the assessment date covered by the provisional statement.(b) The county treasurer may mail or transmit the provisional statement one (1) time each year at least fifteen (15) days before the date on which the first installment is due under subsection (a) in the manner provided in IC 6-1.1-22-8.1, regardless of whether the notice required under section 6(b) of this chapter has been published.(c) This subsection applies to a provisional statement issued under section 6 of this chapter. Except when the second installment of a provisional statement is replaced by a final reconciling statement providing for taxes to be due on November 10, the amount of tax liability due for each installment of a provisional statement issued for a year after 2010 is fifty percent (50%) of the tax that was due for the immediately preceding year under IC 6-1.1-22 subject to any adjustments to the tax liability as prescribed by the department of local government finance. If no bill was issued in the prior year, the provisional bill shall be based on the amount that would have been due if a provisional tax statement had been issued for the immediately preceding year. The department of local government finance may prescribe standards to implement this subsection, including a method of calculating the taxes due when an abstract or other information is not complete.(d) This subsection applies only if a provisional statement for payment of property taxes, special assessments, and any adjustment included in the provisional statement under section 8(e) of this chapter by electronic mail is transmitted to a person under IC 6-1.1-22-8.1(h). If a response to the transmission of electronic mail to a person indicates that the electronic mail was not received, the county treasurer shall mail to the person a hard copy of the provisional statement in the manner required by this chapter for persons who do not opt to receive statements by electronic mail. The due date for the property taxes, special assessments, and any adjustment included in the provisional statement under section 8(e) of this chapter under a provisional statement mailed to a person under this subsection is the due date indicated in the statement transmitted to the person by electronic mail.(e) This subsection applies only to property taxes first due and payable in 2011. If a county is more than two (2) years behind in issuing property tax bills, the county treasurer of the county may petition the department in writing to extend the deadline for making the first installment payment on a provisional statement issued under this chapter. Upon receiving a petition under this subsection, the department may extend the payment deadline to a date that is not later than July 1, 2011.As added by P.L.1-2004, SEC.37 and P.L.23-2004, SEC.40.
