  • Assessment and Appeal Information Directory
    ASSESSMENT AND APPEAL INFORMATION DIRECTORY Forward This publication is designed as a reference tool for the taxpayer who may have only a basic understanding of the property tax assessment and appeal processes in the State of Illinois. Taxpayers should refer to the county where their property is located as a starting point for answers to assessment and appeal questions. The functions of various county officials are generally the same in each county. Due to occasional changes in addresses and telephone numbers throughout the state's 102 counties, it is almost impossible to guarantee complete accuracy at all times. However, rest assured that the staff of the Property Tax Appeal Board has made every effort to verify the information contained in the booklet. To that end, we wish to acknowledge the sincere assistance received from county officials statewide. It was their cooperation and support that has made the Assessment and Appeal Information Directory possible. This publication is available at the Property Tax Appeal Board offices in Springfield and Des Plaines. If you notice any omissions or errors, please let us know immediately and we will correct our records. Table of Contents • INTRODUCTION o County Government o Supervisor of Assessments (County Assessor) o Board of Review o County Clerk o Treasurer (Collector) o Clerk of the Circuit Court o State’s Attorney o Property Tax Appeal Board o Department of Revenue • COUNTY LISTINGS (in alphabetical order) Introduction This section is intended as a basic overview of the various county and state offices and the various duties of the officials within the assessment cycle.
