Indiana Code — Title 6 (Taxation)
IC 6-1.1-8-38
Lien; collection of delinquent taxes; penalties
Sec. 38.
# (a)
Taxes which are based upon an assessment which is made under this chapter are a lien upon the property assessed. This lien accrues on the assessment date of the year of assessment. In addition, the taxes are a personal debt of the public utility company in whose name the property is assessed.
# (b)
If a public utility company does not pay the taxes when they are due, the county treasurer shall notify the prosecuting attorney of that fact. The prosecuting attorney shall then bring an action against the company to recover the delinquent taxes or to enforce the lien upon the property, or both. In such an action, the judgment shall include a penalty equal to fifty percent (50%) of the delinquent taxes. This subsection does not apply to taxes on a railcar company's indefinite-situs distributable property.
