The Supervisor of Assessments is appointed by the County Board for a four-year term. In Illinois, the level of assessment is to be 33 1/3 percent of market value. The assessed value of the property, minus any exemptions if applicable, is the base on which tax levies are calculated. The tax rate is determined by the property tax dollars each local taxing body needs to operate. That rate multiplied by the equalized assessed value results in the tax dollar amount on your tax statement.

Rate questions are answered by the County Clerk’s Office.
