IMPORTANT FINAL
NOTICE REGARDING ASSESSMENT
PUBLICATION
DATE
The 2011 equalized assessments are
complete and can be viewed on our web site. The
assessed values listed on this site have been equalized by the Kane
County Supervisor of Assessments. The 2011 equalization
factor for Batavia Township is 1.0186.
Assessments are as of January 1, 2011. The market "today"
is not reflected until the 2012 assessment year. Therefore,
any sales or appraisals dated after January 1, 2011 cannot be
considered until the 2012 assessment year. Per Illinois State
Statutes we are mandated to use the three previous years of sales
to obtain the fair cash value for a current assessment year.
So for the 2011 assessment year we must use sales from 2008, 2009
and 2010.
Once you have reviewed your 2011 equalized assessment, if you do
not agree with the assessed value that we have arrived at, we would
like you to contact our office prior to filing an appeal. We
request that you submit three comparable properties and/or sales
within your neighborhood. This information can be obtained
from our web site. Once you have compiled the comparable
information, please call or bring your information to our office
for our review. If you submit sales data, please be sure to
include sales other than just foreclosed or short sales.
Upon completion of your assessment review, if you still do not
agree with our value, you may file an appeal with the Kane County
Supervisor of Assessments. Their web address is www.kanecountyassessments.org.
They provide instructions and forms for property assessment
appeals.
Equalized assessed values are scheduled to be published in the
Kane County Chronicle on October 7,
2011. The appeal period will
commence from the date of publication and continue for 30
days. The deadline to file an assessment appeal for the 2011
assessment year is scheduled to end on November 7,
2011. We encourage you to call our office to discuss
your assessment prior to filing an appeal.
This being a general assessment year, all assessments
will be published. You have 30 days from the date of
publication to file an appeal.
The Kane County Supervisor of Assessments has scheduled
assessment notices to be mailed on October 4,
2011.
***PLEASE NOTE*** Not every
taxpayer will receive a notice. Only those assessments
changed by your Assessor will receive a notice.
Assessments only changed by the county equalization factor
will NOT receive a notice. ALL assessments will however be
published.
Please call our office if you have any questions. My staff
and/or I will be glad to discuss them with you. You may reach
us at 630.879.1323 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday - Friday.
Thank you,
Tammy J. Kavanaugh, Assessor
