How Indiana takes it
Indiana requires electronic filing through Hazconnect, the portal Indiana still labels Tier II Manager. You register at tier2.dhs.in.gov and key the inventory into its screens — we have found no Indiana document saying it will take a Tier2 Submit file, so we do not promise that. Reports go to the Department of Homeland Security, not to the environment department, and have since 2016.
This state does not take the file. Our answer works as the worksheet you type from, with the rule behind every number.
The filing is due 1 March each year and covers the calendar year before it. Indiana does not have you send routine copies at all — your local committee and fire department can ask for the inventory, and then you hand it over promptly. Keep it where you can find it.
Before you send it — what else Indiana asks for
The fee has three steps, and the middle one catches most sites. It is $200 if a million pounds or more of any one chemical was on site at once. It is $100 if anything was over a threshold but under that. It is $50 for a site with regulated underground tanks that had nothing else over a threshold — so a facility can owe a fee here without being a Tier II filer at all. Miss 1 March on the $100 fee and it grows $20 a month. Government bodies, state agencies, state universities and local government pay nothing. Indiana also wants a site plan with every annual report. One duty stays with you after filing: if your local emergency planning committee or fire department asks for the inventory, you hand it over promptly.
Does Indiana set its own limits?
We have read Indiana's own code and it uses the federal thresholds. That is a checked answer, not an assumption.
Indiana sets no thresholds of its own. Its own statute points at the federal ones: the fee tiers in IC 13-25-2-10.4 are keyed to “the threshold quantities established under 42 U.S.C. 11022(b) …”. The rest of that sentence sets where the fee steps split, not what you have to report.
The words we read
Indiana Code 13-25-2-10.4, published in full by the Indiana Emergency Response Commission, read 2026-09-09. The statute keys its fee tiers to the federal thresholds rather than setting Indiana ones: “A fee of one hundred dollars ($100) for a facility in which … one (1) or more hazardous chemicals were present in amounts exceeding the threshold quantities established under 42 U.S.C. 11022(b)”. This is Indiana’s own statute pointing at the federal number, which is why we grade it codified — but it is the fee section, not a separate reporting-threshold section. We found no Indiana provision setting a different threshold.
Where we read this
- Indiana DHS (SERC), EPCRA/SARA Title III reporting, read 2026-09-05 and 2026-09-11. IDHS calls its portal “Hazconnect (Tier II Manager)”, and its notice to facilities says the SARA Title III work moved from the Department of Environmental Management to the Department of Homeland Security, with Tier II reports submitted to IDHS “beginning January 1, 2016”. On the local bodies: “Facilities must, upon request, promptly provide the appropriate Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) and/or fire department with jurisdiction over the facility their Tier II emergency and hazardous chemical inventory form information” (IC 13-25-2-10(c)). Nothing in either source says Hazconnect imports a Tier2 Submit file, which is why we do not claim it.Indiana Code 13-25-2-10.4, published in full by the Indiana Emergency Response Commission, read 2026-09-09: “A fee of two hundred dollars ($200) for a facility in which at least one million (1,000,000) pounds of any hazardous chemical was present at one (1) time”; “A fee of one hundred dollars ($100) for a facility in which … hazardous chemicals were present in amounts exceeding the threshold quantities established under 42 U.S.C. 11022(b), but the total amount of any hazardous chemical present did not at any one (1) time equal or exceed one million (1,000,000) pounds”; “A fee of fifty dollars ($50) for a facility that contains underground storage tanks … but in which … no hazardous chemicals were present in amounts exceeding the threshold quantities”. On lateness, a facility subject to the $100 fee “that fails to pay the entire fee by March 1 of each year shall pay to the commission a late fee of twenty dollars ($20)”, and “This late fee shall increase by twenty dollars ($20) for each month that the required fee is not paid.” Subsection (c) exempts the United States government, the state and its agencies, state educational institutions and political subdivisions.Indiana DHS, “Site Plan Guide” (in.gov/dhs/files/Site_Plan_Guide.pdf), read 2026-10-12: “A site plan must be submitted with your Annual Tier II Report.”Checked 2026-09-11
