Government — Indian Village, Indiana

The form — council and clerk-treasurer

State Board of Accounts, examination report B49994, Note 1; the county's town page

The town's government is a Town Council and a Clerk-Treasurer , the statutory Indiana town form under Indiana Code 36-5. The State Board of Accounts states it in the town's own examination: "The Town was established under the…

The seats as the county's roster carries them

St. Joseph County, Indian Village page — read November 2026; undated page, caveat printed

The county's own page for the town Joseph County published it in November 2026, on a page that bears no "as of" date: Gerri Oppenheim , President of the board; Wade Stoller and Mary Jo Krisor , board members; Michael Eby …

The officer lines, as far as the record reaches

State Board of Accounts schedules (2007–2009 and 2013–2016 examinations)

The Board of Accounts' schedules carry the clerk-treasurer's line whole across a decade and a half. Catherine Schosker held the office to 7 September 2009; Kay Naragon succeeded her on 8 September 2009, her printed term running…

Meetings and the town's address

St. Joseph County, Indian Village page

The town meets monthly at the clerk-treasurer's home. The county page prints it verbatim: "Town Meetings: 1st Monday of each month @ 7:30pm — Clerk/Treasurer's home." The same page gives the "Town Hall Address" as P.O. Box 6472, South Bend, IN 46660, the town hall hours as "Call for an appointment," and the telephone as 574-360-7735. No building name or street address for a town hall is printed by any carrier reached, and none is invented here: for a town of sixty-three houses, the county's own record makes the clerk-treasurer's home the seat of government and a post office box the town hall address. A public-meetings listing for 2025 corroborates the cadence, the box and the telephone at pointer strength.

The tax course — a town that levies nothing

DLGF budget orders for St. Joseph County, 2026 and 2025, Unit 0861 read directly

The town unit's certified course is read from the Department of Local Government Finance's budget orders, the strongest carrier the tax record has. Unit 0861, Indian Village Civil Town , qualified for shortened review, and its…

The elections — no town seat on the ballot, 2026 or 2023

County Clerk / Election Board, Election Summary Reports, 2026 and 2023, read in full

Whether any Indian Village seat stood on the 3 November 2026 ballot was a question for the record, and the record answers it: none did. The County Clerk's complete 2026 election summary — read in full — contains town contests for…

The county layer — printed open

Indian Village has no precinct of its own. The county's 2026 precinct summary names no precinct for the town, and its sample-ballot index lists no Indian Village ballot style: the town's voters vote a Clay Township precinct…

Fire and emergency service — a founding member, in transition

FEMA / U.S. Fire Administration papers; Clay Fire Territory record; March 2026 merger coverage

Fire protection is the Clay Fire Territory's, and Indian Village helped create it. Before 2001 the Clay Township Fire Department served the town by contract. In the words of a Fire Administration paper: "In March of 2001, the…

Services carried open — police, water, sewer, trash; streets and schools

Three services print as gaps, one as partial, and one at pointer. Police: no marshal, police department or named law-enforcement provider was identified in any carrier reached — the county's town page lists no police entry, and…

Government: open questions

Named gaps; the full register with settlers stands in the EXPAND-IV1-NOTE

Stated plainly:Every one stands in the note with its settler named.
