Cards also list attachments to the property such as decks, patios, porches and many other details pertinent to the value of the property. A copy of the property record card for each parcel in the village is available for public viewing during the assessor's regular business hours. This copy also includes the assessment and the last selling price for the parcel. When assessments are finalized, they are listed by key number on the assessment roll. The assessment roll is available for public inspection during regular business hours.
Market value is based on finding similar properties that have sold recently.
Assessments are derived by dividing the market value of a property by the level of assessement for the entire village. To obtain the level of assessment as of January 1 and an estimated current level of assessment please contact the Assessor's Office . The assessor is required to send a notice when there is an increase in assessed value. If you receive an assessment notice and have a question, contact the Assessor's Office immediately and arrange for a meeting with an assessor. Meetings are arranged the first few weeks after the notices of change of assessment are mailed, generally around the end of April.
