4th Floor City-County Building
c/o Kareemah Fowler, City Clerk
Esteemed Council Members,
It is customary for the Department of Community Investment, Economic Resources Team, to
provide recommendations and/or guidance to Council for Tax Abatements.
A Petition for Wavier of Non-Compliance for James and Nancy Masters of 5015 Masthead Court
in South Bend was recently received at DCI. This Residential Tax Abatement was granted in
November, 2013. No current members of the DCI Economic Resources Staff were present on
staff in November 2013, making it difficult for our team to provide a meaningful
recommendation for or against the request.
Note that, while Real and Personal Property Tax Abatements for Businesses have
meaningful parameters such as job creation and investment that we can confirm
compliance with to make meaningful recommendations, Residential Tax Abatements do
not provide these data points for our consideration.
DCI therefore sends this Petition for Waiver of Non-Compliance to Council with No
recommendation.
Respectfully,
I

RE: Petition for Waiver to late-file Tax Abatement Application for
5015 Masthead Court, South Bend, IN 46601
Dear Members of the Common Council:
This letter submits for your approval our Petition for a waiver of non-compliance to allow the late-
filing of our application for tax abatement for our real estate at 5015 Masthead Court, South Bend,
Indiana after the filing deadline for Tax Year 2017,pay 2018. The Common Council has the legal
authority to waive the failure to file a timely tax abatement deduction application pursuant to Ind. Code
§ 6-1.1-12.1-11.3.
We built a new home in The Villas at Lake Blackthorn in January,2017. One of the attractions for
building a new home within the city limits was the five(5)year tax abatement available for the
subdivision. Our application for the first year of the tax abatement, for Tax Year 2017, pay 2018,was
filed in November, 2017. The County Auditor rejected the application for being filed late, more than
thirty (30)days after the Form 11 notice of reassessment.
The problem is that the Form 11 Notice sent by the County Assessor does not comply with state
law. According to Ind. Code § 6-1.1-12.1-5(h)(2017), a county assessor is required to provide notice of
the deadline to file a Form 322 tax abatement application with the Form 11 re-assessments notice to the
property owner. The deadline to file a tax abatement application is thirty days from the date of the
assessor's notice.
The Form 11 re-assessment notice we received from the St. Joseph County Assessor for Tax Year
2017 pay in 2018 does not state any deadline to file a Form 322 tax abatement application. According to
state law, all other deductions are to be completed and signed by December 31 of the year for the
deduction. We filed our Form 322 tax abatement application in November, 2017, well before that
deadline and before the tax bills have been issued. Had we been given proper notice that the application
was due earlier,we would have submitted it earlier within the dealine.

In view of the lack of proper legal notice,we request that the Common Council grant our Petition
to allow our Form 322 tax abatement application to be deemed timely-filed for Tax Year 2017,pay 2018,
in accordance with your statutory authority. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Very truly yours,

VERIFIED PETITION FOR
WAIVER OF NON-COMPLIANCE
The petitioners,James A. Masters and Nancy J. Masters,bring this petition pursuant to
Ind.Code§ 6-1.1-12.1-11.3 to respectfully request the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
Indiana to grant a waiver of non-compliance to allow the late-filing of an application for tax
abatement for the real estate at 5015 Masthead Court, South Bend, Indiana after the initial filing
i
deadline. As used in this Petition,"we" and "our"refers to the Petitioners James A. Masters and
Nancy J. Masters.
In support of this petition we,the Petitioners, state:
Statement of Purpose and Intent
1. We purchased real estate commonly described as 5015 Masthead Court, South Bend
Indiana in June, 2014. The lot is located in The Villas at Lake Blackthorn.
2. In conjunction with the development of property in The Villas at Lake Blackthorn,the
developer was granted a five year tax abatement on lots on which a dwelling is completed prior to
November 14,2018. The abatement was approved as Resolution 4295-13 on November 14,2013.
1 'I
A true copy of Resolution 4295-13 is attached to this petition as Exhibit 1.
3. The tax abatement was a factor in our deciding to purchase real estate and build a new
home in the City of South Bend. We constructed a new residential dwelling on the lot that was
completed in January, 2017.
4. The St. Joseph County Assessor issued a Notice of Reassessment of our property dated
July 21, 2017 (Form 11). A true copy of the Form 11 is attached to this petition as Exhibit 2.
5. We filed a tax abatement application(Form 322)for the property on or about November
14, 2017 for Tax Year 2017,pay 2018. True copies of our abatement application and letter to the
Auditor are attached to this petition, collectively, as Exhibit 3.
6. The St.Joseph County Auditor rejected our tax abatement application for Tax Year 2017,
pay 2018 because it was not filed within thirty(30)days of the date of the Form 11. A true copy
of the Auditor's rejection letter is attached to this petition as Exhibit 4.
7. The Form 322 was filed late as the result of excusable and innocent neglect.
8. Ind.Code§6-1.1-4-22 requires the St.Joseph County Assessor to send St.Joseph County
property-owners a notice of re-assessment each year. According to Ind. Code § 6-1.1-12.1-5(h), a
county assessor is required to provide notice of the deadline to file a Form 322 for a tax abatement
with the re-assessment notice. The statute states:
"The township assessor shall include a notice of the deadlines for filing a deduction
application under subsections(a)and(b)with each notice to a property owner of an
addition to assessed value or of a new assessment."
9. In this case,the re-assessment notice issued by the St. Joseph County Assessor does not
state any deadline to file a Form 322 tax abatement application Tax Year 2017, pay 2018.
Consequently,we were not given proper legal notice that the first tax abatement application(Form
2
322) was required to be filed within thirty (30) days of the date of the Assessor's re-assessment
notice.
10. According to Indiana law,other property tax deductions are to be completed and signed
by December 31 of the year for the deduction and filed with the County Auditor by January 5 of the
following year. We filed our Form 322 within the deadline applicable to other tax deductions and
well before any tax bills have been issued.
11. Because the re-assessment notice from the St. Joseph County Assessor for Tax Year
2017 pay in 2018 does not state a deadline to file our tax abatement application,an argument can be
made that the thirty day deadline to file the application has not yet begun to run,so the tax abatement
application is not late.
12. Rather than argue the legal point with the County Auditor and the County Assessor, we
are asking the Common Council to grant a waiver of non-compliance so that the Auditor can apply
our tax abatement application retroactively for Tax Year 2017,pay 2018.
Request for Waiver
13. Under Ind. Code § 6-1.1-12.1-11.3, the Common Council has the authority to
waive a taxpayer's non-compliance with Indiana's tax abatement laws. Included with these
powers is the power to waive a taxpayer's failure to file a timely or complete abatement
deduction application with the County Auditor. Ind. Code § 6-1.1-12.1-11.3(a)(5).
14. The Common Council must conduct a public hearing on the taxpayer's request for a
waiver and pass a resolution waiving the taxpayer's non-compliance. Ind. Code § 6-1.1-12.1-
11.3(c).
3
15. In accordance with these provisions of Indiana law, we respectfully asks the
Common Council to consider this petition at a public hearing and grant our request for a waiver
to allow our tax abatement application to be filed with the Auditor for Tax Year 2017, pay 2018.

RE: Abatement Application Dated 11/17/17—(Denied for 2017/payable 2018)
Tax ID#: 025-1010-017664
Dear Taxpayers,
I have received your Residential Abatement form (Form 322/RE) that you filed in our office on Nov. 1.7,
2017. Per the instructions on the form, this deduction is to be filed "before May 10th in the year in
which the addition to assessed valuation (or new assessment) is made, or not later than thirty (30) days
after the assessment notice is mailed to the property owner if it was mailed after April 10."
Your Notice of Assessment was mailed to you on 7/21/2017. 1 regret to inform you that you missed the
thirty (30) day filing window. Therefore, the abatement will not be applied to your 2017/pay 2018 tax
bill. You have missed the filing date for year#1 of the five (5) year abatement.
You will need to reapply next year prior to May 10th to receive the benefit of the second year of your
abatement. This will be year#2 of your 5 year abatement.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to call me at (574)235-9398.
Sincerely,
Kathy Gregorich
Office Manager/Settlement Specialist
St.Joseph County Auditor's Office
