đ° News from St. Joseph County: Indiana Whiskey Rebellion Takes Aim at Rising Property Taxes
South Bend, IN â June 8, 2025
The St. Joseph County Libertarian Party is sounding the alarm on rising property taxesâand offering real solutions for local homeowners. On Saturday, June 15th from 1:00 to 5:00 PM, weâll be hosting a hands-on workshop and protest event at the Indiana Whiskey Company in South Bend, focused entirely on fighting back through the property tax appeal process.
Weâre calling it the Indiana Whiskey Rebellion: The Property Tax Protest, and itâs more than just symbolic. This event is designed to empower St. Joseph County residents to challenge unfair property assessments that are putting more strain on homeowners each year.
đŻ What Makes This Event Special?
Weâre proud to announce that St. Joseph County Assessor Michael Castellon will be joining us for this event. Heâll be on-site to answer your questions directly, explain how the appeal system works, and guide residents through:
-
How to file a property tax appeal
-
What evidence you need to support your claim
-
How to argue your case effectively in front of the appeals board
-
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Youâll also hear from local residents whoâve successfully fought their assessmentsâand won.
đ Why It Matters to St. Joseph County
We believe that property taxes are one of the most aggressive and unjust forms of government overreach. The idea that you can âownâ your home while still being forced to pay the government year after yearâor risk losing itâis fundamentally wrong. And here in St. Joseph County, inflated assessments are pushing too many people to the brink.
This event isnât just a protestâitâs a call to action. Itâs about restoring control to the individual, not the bureaucrat. Itâs about standing up for our right to keep what weâve earned, and hold government accountable.
đ Raise a Glass, Raise Your Voice
The Indiana Whiskey Company is the perfect venue to host this modern-day act of peaceful resistanceâwhere liberty and local enterprise come together. Join your neighbors for whiskey, comradery, and practical tools to stand up to a bloated tax system.
