Indiana Public Library Statistics

Political Division Type of Unit Codes

1 = Town/City: Library tax boundaries are the same as town or city boundaries.

2 = County-Partial: A county library tax district which covers part of the county in which it is located; the remainder of the county is served by another library district.

3 = County-Total: A county library district which includes the entire county in which it is located.

4 = Township Merged: Library tax district includes a former town/city district and one or more townships which have merged into a single town-township library district.

5 = Township, Partial, Served by Contract: Part of a township is served by a contract with a nearby library district. Township funds to pay contracts may come from the township general fund or other unspecified revenues.

6 = Township Served by Contract: An entire township is served by a contractual agreement with a nearby library district. The source of funds is unspecified.

7 = Township Taxed to Pay Contract: Township levies a specific tax rate upon township property to pay for service received under contract from a nearby library district.

8 = Township, Partial, Taxed to Pay Contract: Same as Type 5 above, with the exception that revenues are raised by the township through a direct library tax.

9 = Township Validated: Same as Type 4 above, with the exception that the township has been taxed and served traditionally throughout the history of the library but no formal merger was adopted or recorded prior to conversion to the Public Library Law of 1947 as a town-township library.

10 = Town Served by Contract: Town served through contractual agreement by a nearby library district.

11 = Endowed: Library was established through and received operating funds from a bequest or endowment; all endowed libraries except the Tyson Library Association Inc., Versailles, also receive some tax revenues.

12 = County Contractual: A library tax district formed under Public Library Law IC 20-14-6 that provides library service in conjunction with a previously existing library district. The county contractual library board has no power to issue bonds or lease property.
