The Tax division of our office provides tax services including annually calculating the rate for various taxing districts by working with taxing authorities and the Board of Review. We make sure that the rates used in calculating taxes are within the legal limits established by law or the vote of the people.

The Clerk also collects all delinquent (past due) taxes from sold properties and issues tax deeds. The tax redemption area of our office computes and collects payments for past due or unpaid taxes. Call our tax line at (815) 319-4253 for questions or more information.

The 2024 Tax Extension began this week on March 12th.  We are waiting for confirmation of the Final Multiplier from the IL Department of Revenue, which may take up to 3 weeks. Once the Multiplier is received, PTELL Worksheets (or Tax Computation Reports for non-PTELL districts) will be emailed for review and rate changes (if applicable). Please begin checking your email starting the first week of April for this information.  Thank you.
