IMPORTANT FINAL NOTICE

The 2010 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 2010 equalization factor for Batavia Township is 1.0262.

Assessments are valued as of January 1, 2010.  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 2010 assessment year we must use sales from 2007, 2008 and 2009.  The market "today" is not reflected until the 2011 assessment year.

Once you have reviewed your 2010 equalized assessment, if you do not agree with our value we would like you to contact our office and we will review your property assessment.  We request that you submit at least three comparable properties and sales within your neighborhood.  This information can be obtained from our web site.

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 August 24^th.  However, if your assessment only changed due to the county equalization factor, your property will not be included in this listing.  The appeal period will commence from the date of publication and continue for 30 days.  The filing deadline will be established once assessments have been published.  We encourage you to call our office to discuss your assessment prior to filing an appeal.

***PLEASE NOTE***  Only assessments changed by your Assessor will be published and will receive a notice by mail.  Notices are scheduled to be mailed on August 19^th.  If your assessment only changed due to the county equalization factor, your assessment will not be published and you will not receive a notice.  You do however still have 30 days from the date of publication to file an appeal. 

Please call our office if you have any questions.  My staff 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
