Welcome to the Jasper County Assessor's Office
This office welcomes the opportunity to serve the citizens of Jasper County and surrounding areas. We hope this information provides answers to some of your questions.
The information on this site has been prepared as a public service to you. We will make every effort to keep this information current. To search property records click here.
The Jasper County Assessor’s Office welcomes you to our information page. The general duties of the Assessor is to appraise all property at fair market value and place them on the tax rolls to generate revenue for Jasper County.
We also classify property at a 4% ratio for your legal residence, meaning that you own and occupy the property as your primary residence or at a 6% ratio for commercial property or non-owner occupied. We have approximately 24,000 parcels in our inventory and we are monitoring values and adding new construction each year as buildings are constructed. State Law requires we do a reassessment every 5 years and the latest reassessment was for tax year 2015 and was implemented in 2016. We also have a complete list of ownership of all property owners in Jasper County and we separate parcels by taxing district so we can turn these values over to the Auditor for determination on millage in order to create the tax bills which are mailed in October of each year.
We are here to assist you and I hope the information displayed on these pages will be helpful to you.
Thank you for visiting. Please contact our office with any questions concerning the Assessor's Office.
