Re: Assessor’s Office March Monthly Activity Report

The activity in the assessment office continues to center around the preparation of the 2017 assessment roll.

The certification of the assessment roll from the county to the township took place in March, however, the

preparation of the assessment roll has been well under way since December of 2016.

The 2016 McHenry County Board of Review decisions were mailed on March 8th and dated March 10th. Any

property owner that did not agree with the decision that was made by the Board of Review is given 30 days

to file an appeal with the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board. Note along with the instructions that

accompanied the board’s decisions we also posted details on the Nunda Township Assessment web page.

The Illinois Department of Revenue has determined there will be no need for a state equalization factor for

McHenry County for the 2016 assessment year. The McHenry County Clerk and McHenry County Treasurer

will now complete the next two steps in the tax cycle which will be the setting of tax rates and preparation of

2016 tax bills.

Data continues to flow into the office thru recorded sales, building permits, as well as data that continues to

be collected in the field by our data collection team members.

Sales that flow thru the office not only have to be entered in our CAMA system, in addition, the conditions

of each sale must also be verified so only sales that meet certain criteria are used further in developing future

assessments. In addition, qualified sales are used in defending current assessments, as well as being used in

data modeling and sales ratio studies. The verification process allows only for qualified data to be used in all

phases of the assessment process which leads to the development of quality and defendable assessments.

The extensive project of updating the photographs for township properties has been completed. As a

reminder, this project was to bring photos of all properties to a date taken of no greater than 10 years. The

maintaining of the 10 year photo update will be an annual on-going project.

I would also like to mention with the ending of the fiscal year which began April 1st 2016 and ended March

31st 2017, if there are any board members that have any questions or concerns with the budget which I

prepared and submitted for the assessment office on January 12th 2017, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Mark S. Dzemske

Tools you can use

I have mentioned many times in the past your township

assessment office is a large repository of information.

We are constantly gathering and analyzing data which is crucial

for the development of Fair and Equitable assessments.

On the following page is a simple example of information that

has been put together in a few simple charts using information

that is readily available on the assessment webpage.

The information that is available on the assessment webpage

can and should be used when checking the accuracy of your

assessment.

Although the information that is published in book format on

the webpage deals with sales activity, there are many ways to

use this data as well as other features on the webpage to look

at assessment equity.

Assessment notices will be out before you know it and it would

not hurt to do a little research.

Visit the webpage, share with the office what you like and what

improvements you would like to see.

Township Sales Activity 2017

Charts Listed below are intended as a broad overview of Residential sales activity within the

township over the stated period of time. This data can be charted from our sales reports that are

posted quarterly on our webpage.

Drilling deeper into this data could help you develop a fair estimate of Market Value of your

property. Why not look at prices per square foot, style of home, age of home? All data is available

on assessment webpage. $
