Understand property tax tendingBy FRED SWIFT
Usually prop-erty tax assess-ment is a dull subject that cre-ates little interest, but then, once a year the assessor sends out a notice of individual as-sessment to those
property owners whose assessed val-ues, known as AV, have changed.
All of a sudden there is great in-terest among those who got notice last week that their assessment has
increased. Some others got notice that their assessments were reduced. Others got no notice which means their AV did not change.
Property assessments in Indiana are subject to what's called annual "trending" which is designed to keep information current and avoid huge increases in values which used to show up every 10 years when there was a general reassessment.
Trending is a method of using the sales prices of comparable homes in a neighborhood or subdivision to es-tablish current values. There can be mistakes in establishing value on a
given property, but mistakes are rare because assessing officials have pret-ty good information.
If a homeowner feels there is something wrong with his or her as-sessment they may appeal. Appeals go to the County Assessor's office which then has township officials review the situation. If a township assessing official cannot find errors or reasons to change values, the ap-peal goes to the Property Tax Board of Appeals where a property owner is offered the opportunity to present

Town of Cicero hires Plan Commission Director
Mental health awareness was focus at Fishers eventBy LARRY LANNANwww.LarryInFishers.com
The Hamilton Southeastern Schools have been an integral part of the Mental Health Initiative launched by Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness, and that cooperation was on display at Riverside Intermediate School (RSI) Wednesday night.
The event was called “Journey of the Heart, Mind & Soul.” It featured tables staffed by area organiza-tions. There were also breakout groups of parents discussing issues such as Suicide Prevention Social Media.
Mayor Fadness spoke to the entire group, explain-ing how his initiative is aimed at combating depres-sion and preventing students from harming themselves while suffering from mental illness. Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa talked about his role in spearheading the city’s mental health program.See Tax . . . Page 2

The REPORTERThe Town of Cicero has hired C.J. Tay-
lor as the new Cicero/Jackson Township Plan Commission Director. Prior to joining the Town in his new role, he served as the Chief Wastewater Operator for the Cicero Streets and Utility Department for the past 12 years.

Get ready to get NICE and creativeThe REPORTER
The 3rd Annual Noblesville Interdis-ciplinary Creativity Expo (NICE) is in October and our first creative workshop coming up on May 16.
This workshop focuses on the Har-lem Renaissance, Jazz, Jazz Poetry, al-legory, anthropomorphism, and other exciting inspirations from two of our selections, Animal Farm and the poem Harlem.
The second workshop in August fo-cuses on two other selections.
NICE is one of the annual Signature Events at Logan Street Sanctuary. The brainchild of author Sarah E. Morin and artist/author Alys Caviness-Gober, NICE offers artists of all kinds the opportunity to create artwork inspired by each year’s
four selected classic literary passages. This year's selections are from: An-
imal Farm (George Orwell), All Quiet on the Western Front (Erich Maria Re-marque), Harlem (Langston Hughes), and Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank). Our two-night NICE event is an “anything goes” artistic expo ~ participants share their inspired cre-ations ~ music, art, poetry, dance, perfor-mance, sculpture, and anything else.
They usually host a couple work-shops in the months leading up to the two-night NICE event (Oct. 6, 7), and their first workshop is May 16, focusing on the Harlem Renaissance, Jazz, Jazz Poetry, allegory, anthropomorphism, and other exciting inspirations from Animal Farm and the poem Harlem.
evidence to support his or her position.Any changes made in this year's
trending will be effective for 2018 taxes. The whole subject of property taxes
and the assessments on which they are based is confusing the many people. The public, for example, is told that taxes can be no higher than one percent of the as-sessed value of their property. But, that
one percent is applied to a changing, and usually increasing, assessment.
In addition, those tax levies approved by voter referendum come in addition to the one percent cap. So, if a taxpayer lives in a school district that has adopted an additional rate of 25 cents per $100 of AV, taxes can exceed the one percent of a property's assessed value.

On “529 Day,” think about smart college savings plansBy COREY SYLVESTERCicero Edward Jones
You probably won’t see it on your calendar, but May 29 (5/29) is 529 College Savings Day, or 529 Day for short. This day, named after the 529 plan, a popular college-savings ve-
hicle, is designed to promote people’s awareness of the need to save and invest for the high costs of higher education. And that need has never been greater. Consider the following:
College prices keep moving up. Col-lege costs just keep rising. For the 2016–2017 school year, the average cost (tuition, fees, room and board) was about $20,000 for in-state students at public universities and more than $45,000 for private schools, according to the College Board. These costs are likely to continue climbing.
Student debt is at record levels. Of the Class of 2016 graduates who received loans – about 70% of the total student population – the average individual debt was $37,172, a record high, according to a study cited by CBS News.
What can you do to help your children graduate from college without having to provide a big “IOU” in exchange for a di-ploma? In the spirit of 529 Day, you might want to consider investing in a 529 plan. It’s certainly not the only means of saving for college, but it does offer some attrac-tive benefits.
For starters, contribution limits are quite high – you can accumulate more than $200,000 per beneficiary in many state plans. And you can typically invest in the
529 plan offered by any state, even if you don’t reside there. If you do invest in your own state’s plan, you may be eligible for state income tax incentives.
Also, all withdrawals from 529 plans will be free from federal income taxes, as long as the money is used for a qualified college or graduate school expense of the beneficiary you’ve named — typically, your child or grandchild. (Withdrawals for expenses other than qualified education expenditures may be subject to federal and state taxes and a 10% penalty on the earn-ings portion of the distribution.)
Furthermore, you have complete con-trol of your 529 plan assets. You decide who will get the money and when he or she will get it. You can even change the beneficiary to another family member.
Keep in mind, though, that your 529 plan will be counted on the Free Appli-cation for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), although schools typically only consider up to 5.6% of parental assets when calcu-lating financial aid. And distributions from a parent-owned 529 account used for one year’s college expenses will not usually reduce next year’s financial aid eligibil-ity. (For more information on how a 529 plan might affect your child’s financial as-sistance, you may want to consult with a college’s financial aid office.)
If you can find a 529 Day event in your area, you may want to attend so that you can learn more about the many aspects of saving for college. But even if you can’t personally take part in 529 Day, give some thought to a 529 plan – it might be part of the solution for helping your children earn a relatively debt-free degree.
