What land sells for nearby
Land in Hamilton County sold for:
- 10 acres or more: $19.0k–$65.6k an acre (21 sales, Oct 2025–Sep 2026); median $37.5k
The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of recorded land sales (one parcel each, or one multi-parcel farm sale of bare land counted once). Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: STATS Indiana sales disclosure forms, valid for trending by the county assessor, vacant land with no improvement on the parcel at the sale; farm acreage (farm class, 10+ acres, no buildings): also the sales the assessor marked not valid for trending when the form gives none of the disqualifying answers (related parties, partial interest, court order, sheriff, quitclaim, trade, land contract and the like), because Indiana assessors do not trend farm sales; a multi-parcel farm sale of bare land counts once, at its price per total acre. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.

Property tax
Rates: Indiana DLGF, pay 2026. The estimate is the county's taxable value times those rates, before exemptions; it is not a bill. The county treasurer's bill is the official figure.
Property tax · Due dates
Indiana pay-2026 taxes: second installment due November 10, 2026.
Sources: Indiana Code 6-1.1-22-9 and 6-1.1-15-1.1; the Department of Local Government Finance due dates. Checked Oct 13, 2026.
Hazards
Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
Recorded flood claims
Insured buildings near this parcel, not the parcel itself. FEMA counts claims on buildings with NFIP flood insurance, so land that never had an insured building has no claims to count. The count is the parcel's census block group when it has 10 or more, else its tract's; a count under 10 prints as "Fewer than 10". Source: OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims v3.
Neighborhood (Census)
± is the Census 90% margin of error; a figure comes from the larger census tract when the block group's sample is too small.
Tax value
Tax value: the county's yearly assessment (gross assessed value, trended every year), not a market price. County file, June 2025.
Gross assessed value (the county assessor's market value-in-use, trended every year), not a market estimate. Farmland is assessed by the state's base-rate formula, well below what farmland sells for.
