6. (a) For purposes of this section, the term
"secondary recovery method" includes but is not limited to the
stimulation of oil production by means of the injection of water, steam,
hydrocarbons, or chemicals, or by means of in situ combustion.
(b) The total assessed value of all interests in the oil located on or
beneath the surface of a particular tract of land equals the product of:
(1) the average daily production of the oil; multiplied by
(2) three hundred sixty-five (365); and multiplied by
(3) the posted price of oil on the assessment date.
However, if the oil is being extracted by use of a secondary recovery
method, the total assessed value of all interests in the oil equals
one-half (1/2) the assessed value computed under the formula
prescribed in this subsection. The appropriate township assessor (if
any), or the county assessor if there is no township assessor for the
township, shall, in the manner prescribed by the department of local
government finance, apportion the total assessed value of all interests
in the oil among the owners of those interests.
(c) The appropriate township assessor, or the county assessor if
there is no township assessor for the township, shall, in the manner
prescribed by the department of local government finance, determine
and apportion the total assessed value of all interests in the gas located
beneath the surface of a particular tract of land.
(d) The department of local government finance shall prescribe a
schedule for township and county assessors to use in assessing the oil
or gas interests described in section 12.4(a) of this chapter and the
appurtenances described in section 12.4(c) of this chapter. The owner
or owner's agent of the oil or gas interests or appurtenances described
in section 12.4 of this chapter must file the schedule by May 15 each
year with the appropriate township assessor (if any), or the county
assessor if there is no township assessor for the township.
(e) If a person fails to file the schedule required by subsection (d) on
or before the due date, the county auditor shall add a penalty of
twenty-five dollars ($25) to the person's next property tax installment.
The county auditor shall also add an additional penalty to the taxes
payable by the person if the person fails to file the schedule within
thirty (30) days after the due date. The amount of the additional penalty
is ten percent (10%) of the taxes finally determined to be due with
respect to the property which should have been reported on the
schedule.
