Sec. 2. (a) Except as provided in section 9 of this chapter, county auditor may establish a real property index numbering system in order to list real property for purposes of the assessment and collection of taxes.

The index numbering system shall describe real property by county, township, block, and parcel or lot. The numbering system must be approved by the department of local government finance before it is implemented.

(1) establish and maintain cross indexes of the numbers assigned under the system and the complete legal description of the real property to which the numbers are related;
(2) assign individual index numbers which shall be carried on the assessment rolls, tax rolls, and tax statements;
(3) keep the indexes established under this section open for public inspection; and
(4) furnish all information concerning the index numbering system to the assessing officers of the county.
(c) An index numbering system established under this section shall be implemented on a county-wide basis.
