Porter County Officials Release “Let’s Talk Taxes” Meeting Schedule

Porter-CountyPorter County Auditor Bob Wichlinski, Assessor Jon Snyder, and Treasurer Mike Bucko released the schedule of their “Let's Talk Taxes” Town Hall Meetings which will be hosted at schools throughout Porter County in the coming weeks.

The meetings will be an opportunity for citizens to become informed and ask questions of their three elected officials.

Topics will include:

  • How your tax bill is calculated
  • Available tax exemptions
  • How and when to file a tax appeal
  • Paying and appealing on-line
  • The effect of tax caps on you, your school, and your local government

A brief presentation will be followed by an open question & answer session. The three officials and their support staff will be available following the program to address specific taxpayer needs.

“Let's Talk Taxes” is a component of the “Total Quality Management” (TQM) program the three elected officials launched in the Spring with the support of the Porter County Council and Porter County Board of Commissioners.

We're eager to bring county government to the our citizen's front porch,” said Auditor Bob Wichlinski, “we hope everyone will plan to attend.”
