Tax Warrants

The Sheriff of the county is tasked with assisting in the collection of monies owed to the Indiana Department of Revenue through a process of Tax Warrants. A Tax Warrant is not an arrest warrant. Instead, this is a chance to make voluntary restitution for taxes owed. Tax Warrants are issued by written letter, never by telephone. If you receive a written Tax Warrant, please read the letter in its entiretyand follow these steps.

Tax Warrant Instructions:

If you are disputing the amount owed, call the Department of Revenue at 317/232-2240. Do not call the Vigo County Sheriff's Office, as this agency has nothing to do with setting the amount of taxes owed.

After you have read your letter and wish to set up a payment plan, you may call the Vigo County Sheriff's office at 812-462-3226. You have up to 12 months from the date of issuance of the tax warrant to pay, so long as monthly payments are being made. Once your payment information is received, the State will be notified of your intention to meet the tax
