Dear Citizens:
If you have recently purchased a home in our township, and your purchase price is less than the current assessed value, please call our office so we may review your assessment at no charge.
ALL TAX PAYERS:
2019 TAX BILLS (payable in 2020): Tax bills will be mailed from Will County at the beginning of May 2020. They are due in two installments (only one bill is mailed). Due dates are usually on June 1st and September 1st, depending on the day of week.
Please check your tax bill for any missing exemptions. They are explained on the back of your tax bill. If there are missing exemptions, please call or come in to our office as soon as possible to have it looked over. If you are not sure what you qualify for, please visit our “exemption” tab to see what is available. If you see no dollar amount in the senior freeze and you applied, please look at your assessments first. If your assessment is lower than the amount you were frozen at, there will be no adjustments made in that line item.
There are two separate factors that make up your tax bill; the tax rates and assessments. The tax rate is determined by taxing bodies in the area. They are listed on the tax bill. If you are concerned with the rate you are paying, please contact your taxing bodies. Please see our tab “Taxing District Info” for name and contact information. Budgets are set in the Fall and tax payers are encouraged to attend those meetings, which set the rates you pay.
The Assessor’s Office is responsible for assessing every property. When tax bills are mailed, it is not the time to appeal your assessment. Assessments for this tax cycle were finalized in September 2019. Assessments cannot be changed at this point. 2019 was a quadrennial reassessment year. This means that by state statute, every parcel received a revised notice of assessment back in August 2019, whether the value has changed or not.
If you feel you would like your assessment reviewed further for 2020, there is a tab for our Assessment Review – follow the instructions and send the paperwork to our office by the deadline noted. Or please call our office and we will instruct you how to proceed. Please always note the deadlines on the notices for appealing. You DO NOT need a lawyer, tax consultant or to pay a fee to have your assessments reviewed. This is what we do and we are here to help you understand the process.
As always, if you have any further questions please feel free to call our office and anyone of our staff will be able to answer your questions.
