Which of the following best describes Indiana's treatment of a mortgage recording tax?

Correct Answer

B) Indiana does not impose a mortgage recording tax

Indiana does not impose a mortgage recording tax. Unlike some other states, Indiana has no statewide or county-level mortgage recording tax.

Indiana does not impose a mortgage recording tax
C
Indiana imposes a mortgage recording tax equal to 5% of the loan amount
