TROY TOWNSHIP ASSESSOR

The Office of the Assessor is the only elected position that has statutory, pre-election requirements. In Troy Township the candidate must obtain the Certified Illinois Assessing Officer designation from the Illinois Property Assessment Institute (CIAO). Incumbent elected assessors must complete continuing education requirements before they can run for re-election.

The assessor’s responsibilities include the mass appraisal of all taxable property within the township. Mass appraisal requires the assessor to perform three fundamental yet vital duties:

1. Discover, list and value all new construction within the jurisdiction
2. Ensure that existing property is valued at the appropriate statutory level of market value
3. Assure that similar property is valued in a uniform manner
