Property in Morgan County, other than farmland and coal, is to be assessed at a 33.33% median level of assessment, based on the fair cash value of the property. The current level of assessments for Morgan County is 33.33%, after adjustments made for equalization and reassessment. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment, or by taking your assessment multiplied by 3. The resulting value should equal the estimated fair cash value of your property. If the resulting value is greater than the estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be over-assessed. If the resulting value is less than the fair cash value of your property, you may be under- assessed.
You may appeal your assessment to the Morgan County Board of Review. If you believe your fair cash value is incorrect or that the equalized assessed value of your property is not uniform with other comparable properties in your neighborhood, the following steps should be taken:
1. Contact the Morgan County Supervisor of Assessments to review your property.
Due to Covid19 restrictions, the office will allow only 2 people in the office at once. Appeal Forms maybe be mailed or emailed by contacting the Assessor’s Office. Appeal Forms will also be available online at the Morgan County Website, under the Supervisor of Assessments Department.
2. If not satisfied with the assessor review, file a complaint with the Board of Review. Complaint forms, instructions, rules and procedures are available in the Morgan County Supervisor of Assessments Office, or on the County Website.
3. The final filing deadline for the Board of Review is, January 31, 2021.
4. For information on appeals, deadlines or reviews contact the Morgan County Supervisor of Assessments office, (217) 243-8557, or by email at assessors@morgancounty-il.com
Your property may be eligible for homestead exemptions, which can reduce your property’s taxable assessment. For more information on exemptions call (217) 243-8557.
Your property tax bill will be calculated as follows:
Final Equalized Assessed Value – Exemptions = Net Taxable Value
Net Taxable Value X Current Tax Rate = Total Tax Bill.
All equalized assessed valuations are subject to further equalization and revision by the Morgan County Board of Review, as well as equalization by the Illinois Department of Revenue.
