2023 EXEMPTIONS - EXEMPTION RENEWAL FORMS WERE MAILED BY COUNTY IN APRIL 2023. PLEASE CALL OR COME IN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
Dear Citizens:
2023 is a QUADRENNIAL reassessment year. This means that by Illinois State statute, every parcel will receive a revised assessment notice in August of 2023, regardless if the value of your property has changed or not. It will show the prior year's assessment, Township assessment, then Will County final assessment after any multipliers applied.
In DuPage Township, every subdivision grouping is reviewed every year to examine and determine what is happening with the market.
Quadrennial assessed value notices are used for the 2023 tax bill, which is payable in 2024. The notice is not a bill and will not reflect any exemptions! Remember these values are as of January 1, 2023. Please keep in mind the following:
- Assessed value is 1/3 of market value (.3333).
- Assessments are based on 3 years of adjusted valid sales prior to the assessment date. 2023 values are based on adjusted sales from 2022, 2021, and 2020 – not current market year 2023.
- Once the notices are sent in August, there is a 30-day period in which you can formally file an appeal at the Will County Board of Review for your assessment, not taxes.
- Exemptions will NOT appear on this notice. IT IS THE HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY TO REVIEW THEIR TAX BILLS EVERY YEAR TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE RECEIVING THE APPROPRIATE EXEMPTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION, PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE FOR A REVIEW.
- You may choose to hire a lawyer or a tax consultant, but this is what we do, and are here to help you understand the process and there is not a charge.
- If the property is a recent sale, please contact our office before filing. We may be able to avoid the appeal process, depending on the processing date deadlines.
- If your appeal is equity or sales comparables. You must find three comparables within your subdivision grouping, if possible, of the same or similar style and size. For sales use the 3-year period, old sales do get adjusted for time with multipliers. They must be valid sales (not foreclosures, short sales, bank sales, etc.)
- If you believe there is an error or have a question on what you are being assessed for, please contact us prior to filing. Check our website with your PIN and make sure everything is accurate. Please note that not all amenities are published on the website, so if you have a specific question, please reach out to us. Please know that we are constantly updating our system, and we will be happy to review your property information with you.
Formal appeals are submitted electronically once the appeal time is open. To file a formal appeal with Will County Board of Review, please visit their appeal portal at borappeals.willcountysoa.com. DuPage Township does not have Board of Review appeal forms in our office. The deadline to file an appeal is published on their website and the notices.
- You cannot appeal your TAX BILL. If you are upset regarding the amount of taxes being paid, you must contact your local taxing bodies (school district, library, park district, etc.). The taxing bodies budgets are what sets the tax rates. Assessments are just a simple proportionate way of distributing the tax burden equitably. We suggest not comparing taxes to others because 1- everyone does not have the same house 2- rates vary by districts 3- everyone has different exemptions. Review your own property and we are happy to answer any questions.
When a multiplier is applied, that does not necessarily mean the tax bills will go up that amount. The Assessor’s office does not set your tax bill or amounts. Your taxes are based on budgets of the taxing district’s where the property is located. This appeal process is NOT to appeal your TAXES, only assessments. If your tax bill amount (rate) is what is in question, then check the center of the bill for all the taxing districts and contact them about their budget hearings. The rate is what makes your tax bill. An assessment is apportioning a tax burden within a taxing district fairly.
