Commercial Assessment Complaint

COMMERCIAL ASSESSMENT COMPLAINT FOR 2023 ASSESSMENT YEAR. The McHenry County Board of Review (Board) consists of three primary members and several alternate members, appointed by the McHenry County Board. Any member or alternate member may conduct a hearing. The Board has the authority, under the Illinois tax codes, to confirm, reduce, or increase any assessment to an amount that the Board considers to be fair and just. The Board determines the correct assessment prior to state equalization of any parcel of real property that is the subject of a complaint based on uniformity, market value, correctness of facts, evidence, exhibits and briefs submitted to the Board from a Complainant, township assessor or other interested parties. The Board of Review is to serve as an unbiased intermediary between the Township Assessors and taxpayers striving for equitable and fair property assessments in McHenry County through the assessment complaint process. Upon receiving the new Assessment Notice, it is advisable that taxpayers discuss their assessments with their local Township Assessor’s Office. Many times, a better understanding of the assessment can be achieved and the need for filing a complaint can be avoided. Before filing a complaint, it is strongly recommended taxpayers read the “2023 Rules of the McHenry County Board of Review” and the “How to File a Complaint for 2023” documents. www.FormsWorkflow.com
