PTABOA 10.13.26

Warrick County, Indiana Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals (PTABOA) meeting, October 13, 2026. The board elected David Singer president, approved prior meeting minutes and 413 informal appeal resolutions, and voted to continue Lighthouse Storage and Deaconess exemption matters to December. The meeting focused on property assessment appeals and tax-exemption applications; no procurement, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or capital spending actions were identified. Notable exemption votes included 100% exemptions for Booneville Gun Club’s educational use and Mission First’s veterans’ charitable facility, described as a planned approximately $8 million facility. The board also approved a partial exemption for Hope Central, including 69% of eligible land and related property, and approved specified Deaconess percentages, including 91.8% for the energy center and 76.17% for another property. A claimed exemption for Blissful Journey was denied, while several statutory exemption filings were renewed.

On assessment appeals, the board retained an 80% negative influence for an inherited property subject to a restrictive 99-year clause, granted a 40% flooding influence on another parcel, and approved a 91R classification with a 60% flooding influence for a river-adjacent parcel. Several of Wayne Decker’s agricultural and wooded parcel appeals were continued to the next meeting pending supporting documentation on land use and federal-program restrictions. Other appeals were resolved using assessor recommendations, including an apartment property assessed at approximately $396,300 based on the available income-and-expense information. The discussion emphasized consistent, evidence-based treatment of exemptions and land classifications; the next meeting was scheduled for December 1, 2026.
