The process is on-going and recycles each year as individual properties may change. This includes tracking building permits for new construction, demolitions and property inspections; maintaining property ownership, tax exemptions, and tax maps; reviewing sales and updating property characteristics for an accurate database; and preparing appraisal evidence for the Board of Review and State Appeal Board. Additionally, by state law all properties must be revalued every 4 years. Max Schlafley, Township Assessor Certified Illinois Assessing Officer (CIAO) Licensed Illinois Certified General Appraiser Real Estate taxes are a complex, confusing, and frustrating fact of life. Although the Assessor does not determine taxes, the assessments provide the basis from which the taxing bodies levy. We all want the quality of life in our community to be strong and stable. We don't mind paying our fair share to support those services that enhance and protect our children, our homes, and our lifestyles. You should know that one hundred percent of the tax dollars collected through the property tax stays in our local community and pays for those services. The state legislature has determined that the property tax burden be apportioned or spread over all the taxpayers based solely on the market value of the property jurisdiction in which they live.
