| HOW TO APPEAL YOUR PROPERTY ASSESSMENT |
 Revised Assessment notices are sent out the end of August by the Supervisor of Assessments Office. Assessments changed by the Assessor will warrant a notice, except in the quadrennial year, when everyone receives a notice. The notice is usually a large postcard showing your prior assessment and the new revised assessment. Printed on the notice is a date when all of the assessment revisions are published in your local newspaper. Please take the time to carefully read this notice.
The assessment should be one-third of the estimated market value. If you believe your property is worth less than the assessor's estimate, you should contact our office. We will be glad to meet with you and explain how we arrived at your value. You should request your property record card and review it for any errors. If an error is found, it can easily be corrected at this time. You can also request to look at current sales and assessments in your neighborhood and use these for comparison. If after meeting with the Assessor, and researching sales and assessments, you still feel your property is overvalued, you have the right to appeal your assessment with the Will County Board of Review. This must be done within (30) days after publication of reassessments. Forms can be obtained at the Board of Review Office at the Will County Office Building or at our office.
Remember, when you receive this postcard it is notice that your assessment is being changed. If you feel your property is over assessed, this is the time to appeal, not when you receive your tax bill.
***PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2011 APPEAL DEADLINE OF 9/19/11 HAS PASSED.
