IN HB1306

Allows property owners (individuals owning real property, mobile homes, or manufactured homes assessed as personal property) to vote in referendums on political subdivision debt issuance and school property tax levies, in addition to registered voters.

Establishes that each property owner receives only one vote regardless of ownership interest type, number of parcels owned, or number of properties owned within the subdivision.

Requires the Secretary of State to establish a sealed paper ballot system for property owner voting, with the State Board of Accounts designing the ballot form and county officials verifying property ownership eligibility.

Mandates that property owner ballots be validated by the county auditor before submission to the county voter registration office, with the circuit court clerk determining final ballot compliance and vote counting.

Applies property owner voting requirements to both controlled project referendums under IC 6-1.1-20 and school corporation property tax levy referendums under IC 20-46-1, effective July 1, 2012.
