Rules the Board
of Review (pdf) - Includes meeting dates, deadlines, and other details
for citizens.
Illinois counties,
with the exception of Cook County, have a local appeal body known as the Board
of Review. Complaints on assessments must be filed in writing with the Board of
Review in the county in which the property is located. In counties with
populations less than 150,000, complaints must be filed by August 10th.
This date may be extended if the Supervisor of Assessments has not met the
required publishing dates. The Board of Review publishes rules regarding
appeals. Check with the Board of Review office for the rules in your county.
The Board of Review
office will supply you with a complaint form. In Adams County, the Board of
Review will review your written complaint, and notify you of their tentative
decision. You may request a hearing after you have received your written
decision. You may represent yourself or have an attorney represent you.
It is important to
remember that you are appealing the assessment of your property upon which the
actual bill will be based. The
Board of Review does not have the authority to change a tax bill.
A list of all
assessment changes will be published in a newspaper in the county after the
Board adjourns.
