The Chief County Assessment Officer is also responsible for preparing abstracts and reports to the Illinois Department of Revenue, applying equalization factors to keep assessment levels at the 33.33 required by the state, serving as clerk to the County Board of Review, and serving as Chairman of the Farmland Assessment Review Committee.Equalization is the application of a uniform percentage increase or decrease to assessed values of various areas or classes of property to bring assessments on average, to the statutory level of assessment of 33 1/3%. Both local assessment officials and the Illinois Department of Revenue are responsible for equalizing assessment levels.

In Logan County the Supervisor of Assessments office is also currently responsible for mobile home registrations. We require that all taxes are paid and you have a valid title before you can register a mobile home. To transfer a title into your name through the DMV you will need a tax certificate issued from the Logan County treasurer that certifies that there are no back taxes owed.  For more information or if you have questions please call the office and ask for Stephanie.

Property Tax Exemptions

Are you eligible for a property tax exemption? And if so what do you need to provide to the Supervisor of Assessments office to receive those exemptions.

The Illinois Department of Revenue determines what is required and what documentation is needed to qualify for each property tax exemption. It is the job of the Supervisor of Assessments office to not only administer exemptions but also to verify eligibility. When exemptions are granted the tax burden is redistributed onto other taxpayers. It is our responsibility to ensure that if we are going to grant the exemption the applicant is indeed qualified. Although inconvenient to provide proof each year for renewals it is necessary and required.

The following exemptions are available for qualified property owners:

General Homestead Exemption - A reduction of $6000 in assessed value for persons who own and live in their property. 

Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption - An additional reduction of $5000 in assessed value for property owners 65 years of age or older who own and live in their property. Requires application and proof of age.

Senior Citizen Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption - This exemption freezes the assessed valuation at the year the owner qualifies, and renews each year after if they continue to qualify. Qualifications are that the  property owner is 65 years of age or older, already signed up for the  Senior Exemption and have a total household gross income of $65,000 or less. This would include income from anyone living in the home with the applicant.  Verification of income is required each year.

Homestead Improvement Exemption - If a new improvement is added to an existing structure (i.e. garages, porches, decks, etc.) on property that the owner lives in, application may be made to exempt the assessment attributable to that improvement for four years.

Returning Veterans' Homestead Exemption -  The Returning Veteran's Homestead Exemption provides a $5000. reduction in assessed value for the veteran's principal residence for two consecutive tax years, beginning the year following the return of the veteran from an armed conflict on behalf of the United States. The applicant must own and occupy the home as the principle residence as of January 1st. if you acquire your home after returning you can apply the following January 1st.
