Riley Township Assessor
Riley Township 2021 Equalization
The 2021 Riley Township Equalization Factor is 1.0578. This was determined by the Illinois Department of Revenue in a three-year sales ratio study which analyzes the arms' length sales that have occurred in 2018, 2019 and 2020 and compares them to the prior year's assessment values. The sales ratio study is done by the Illinois Department of Revenue for every county and township in the State of Illinois annually. The most recent data has determined that the 2021 assessments, in Riley Township as whole, must be increase by 5.78% over the 2020 assessment levels.
- The 2021 equalization factor of 1.0578 DOES NOT mean that house values have increased 5.78%. This is a tool used in order to assess the township as a whole at the statutory 33.33% of fair cash value.
- THIS EQUALIZATION FACTOR DOES NOT MEAN YOUR TAX BILL WILL INCREASE BY 5.78%.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 5.78% INCREASE IN THE ASSESSMENTS FOR RILEY TOWNSHIP SHOULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY A DECREASE IN THE TAX RATE.
If recent sales in your subdivision or neighborhood indicate that your parcel is overvalued after the application of the 2021 equalization factor, then that is a basis for an assessment appeal. Additionally, if your property or home is over-assessed compared to other similar properties or homes in your subdivision or neighborhood, this would also be a legitimate basis for an appeal. Property owners will not be able to appeal an assessment value based solely on the 1.0578 equalization factor.
More information on the appeal process is located at: McHenry County Assessments Website.
