How these numbers are made
- Property tax uses the Indiana homestead cap of 1% of gross assessed value; the 2026 gross rate is 2.6268 per $100 for Town of Avon (district 031) and 2.5460 for Avon-Lincoln (034), so the cap binds. Referendum levies sit outside the cap and were not checked.
- Water is Citizens Water Rate No. 1 (July 2022 tariff): $8.56 monthly service charge for a 5/8 inch meter plus $3.6222 per CCF. Riders were not checked.
- The EIA 899 kWh is the 2022 US residential average, not an Indiana figure. Sewer is excluded: Avon does not run sewer service and the provider (Hendricks County Regional Sewer District/Aqua Indiana or others) and its rate were not found.
- Electric uses Hendricks Power's off-peak price of $0.1083/kWh only; the super off-peak and on-peak prices differ, so this understates a typical bill. Gas provider not determined.
- Trash is a private hauler contract and is not counted. The stormwater fee is the town's $6 per ERU per month.
- Not in the total: gas (provider not determined), sewer, and trash. The 9 CCF typical water use is a modelling assumption, not a Citizens Water figure. Stormwater: the town's residential rate is $6 per ERU per month and a home is charged one ERU; $4 is non-residential and $2 rail yard.
- Modelling: water rate is Citizens Rate No. 1, July 2022 tariff, later increases/riders not included; sewer excluded from total (town runs no sewer; costs vary by provider); median value used as gross assessed value, referendum levies excluded; Hendricks Power time-of-use prices $0.0594 super off-peak, $0.1083 off-peak, $0.2491 on-peak, off-peak shown; garbage not billed by town.
- Sewer: the fiscal plan describes an annexation area, not current service to all homes; sewer is shown as $0 billed by the town (modelling assumption).
- No town sewer rate was found.
- Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.

Cities bill differently (some put trash on the tax bill, some cover more services), so a higher number isn't necessarily worse. The property tax rate is compared instead of dollars because house values differ.
