Directory of Economic Development Organizations in Downstate Illinois Directory of Economic Development Organizations in Downstate Illinois 2003 Edition Directory of Economic Development Organizations in Downstate Illinois 2003 Edition This project was compiled by the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs with support from Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. February 2004 Dear Economic Development Professional: Many local economic development agencies across rural Illinois are working hard to stimulate local economies. Most of them have programs tailored to local needs building on local assets and strengths. The large number of these agencies makes it somewhat difficult to keep track of them and know the types of initiatives that have succeeded. At the same time, this information could help other agencies considering various alternatives. The Opportunity Returns Program, launched by Governor Rod Blagojevich, makes it imperative that local economic development groups be able to communicate effectively and share the approaches that have worked in their communities. The fact that so many community leaders are volunteers and some local public officials serve part-time makes it difficult for them to identify opportunities and to access support. This Resource Directory of Economic Development Organizations is in the fourth edition and provides a listing of economic development groups by county in Illinois. This directory is also available as a searchable database on the Internet (www.iira.org). The intent is to provide easy access for local and state economic development personnel as well as business investors to identify groups currently working in the various regions of rural Illinois. The IIRA appreciates the support of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity in updating and printing this version. Lori Sutton, IIRA, compiled the information and prepared the copy for publication. We thank the many local public officials and community leaders who provide updated information for this report. As always, any interpretations or errors belong solely to the IIRA. Comments and suggestions for improvements are welcome.

  • 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.
