Circuit Breaker Credit Reporting
Each year, the county auditor must notify each taxing unit, in which the circuit breaker credit is applied, of the reduction of property tax collections (IC 6-1.1-20.6-9.5). The report must show the amount that each taxing unit's distribution of property taxes will be reduced as a result of the circuit breaker credits. It is no longer necessary for a copy of this report to be filed with the Department of Local Government Finance.
