News from Putnam County CUSD #535

PC Community:

As we close out the 2024-2025 school year, we want to congratulate the PCHS Class of 2025 on all their accomplishments! Over the past few years, our faculty and staff have begun to redesign the focus of high school by emphasizing preparation for students’ next stage of learning and life. We are proud to be able to provide students with Advanced Placement (AP) courses, dual credit courses on IVCC’s campus, work-based learning experiences, and careerbased courses at the Area Career Center (ACC) and at PCHS. The Class of 2025 took advantage of these opportunities, as reflected in the following data:

• 58 Graduates in the Class of 2025

• 349 Number of college credits earned

• 21 Number of students who took at least 1 IVCC course

• 18 Number of students who took at least 1 AP course

• 15 Number of students participating in an internship or workplace experience

• 23 Number of students taking an ACC course

• 3,083 Number of community service hours

In the years ahead, we will continue to focus on providing and expanding these opportunities. On our agenda is implementation and continued improvements of PaCE Frameworks, which are learning activities for students to complete beginning in 6th-grade and lasting through 12th-grade to prepare them for life after high school. These activities include skills such as finding a career of interest, writing a resume, creating a personal budget, managing loans and debt, exploring colleges, and so much more.

Also, congratulations to the 8th-grade graduates of PCJH! The high school is excited to welcome you next year, and we hope you also take advantage of all these new and developing opportunities!

Facilities Updates

As the Board of Education and District continues to analyze its facilities needs and make decisions for improvements, we remain committed to keeping the community informed. Updates and projects in progress across the schools are as follows:

• Facilities Analysis – The District is completing a new facilities analysis in partnership with Larson & Darby Group, the District’s architect. This analysis will lay out a timeline of projects and investments based on need, safety, and accessibility. Upon completion of the analysis, the Board of Education will be sharing the findings with the community.

• PCJH Wastewater Treatment Plant – The junior high has its own wastewater treatment plant that has been showing its age and presented problems over the past few years. Costs for direct replacement were several million dollars. In response, the District architect is analyzing the current system to determine if there are any other cost efficient and appropriate options for this project.

• Summer 2026 Projects – Several projects are slated for completion this summer to improve safety and accessibility. For example, PCES in Hennepin will be receiving a new intercom system, replacement of some doors, and repair to sidewalks around the building. At PCJH in McNabb, new desks and cafeteria tables will be provided along with repairs to the gym bleachers. PCHS in Granville will receive new HVAC units in the agriculture shops, upgrades to the wifi network, and replacement of auditorium doors. The total cost of work at all schools this summer is $646,224.71.

These projects are anticipated to be small compared to updates in the coming years. Using the facilities analysis, the District will be preparing to address larger needs starting next year, such as bathrooms and plumbing at PCES, the wastewater treatment plant at PCJH, and HVAC units across all buildings.

If you have any questions regarding these topics or other matters, please contact the District Office at (815)882-2800 ext. 5.

Sincerely,

PC #535 Board of Education & Dr. Clayton J. Theisinger, Superintendent

Ottawa resident supports through ‘Believe in UGanda’

By MARIBETH M. WILSON mwilson@shawmedia.com

The life of an Ugandan family can be transformed with a pair of piglets. For only $110, donors can give families a chance for prosperity through “Believe in UGanda” of Ottawa, the Starved Rock Community foundation said in a news release.

Debbie Damron, of Ottawa and Believe in UGanda, an affiliate of the

Starved Rock Country Community Foundation, is leading the effort to provide piglet pairs to 45 families living in the Kamwenge region of western Uganda, one of the country’s most impoverished areas.

On Tuesday, May 27, Damron will lead another group to the region and plans to be part of the “day of joy” when piglets are distributed to families as a part of a “revolving livestock” program sponsored by Innovations for Transformation Initiative. Damron and her group will return June 12, marking her 14th trip to Uganda.

IVCC students transform book discussion into community action

Projects inspired by Octavia Butler’s 1993 dystopian novel ‘Parable of the Sower’

By MARIBETH M. WILSON mwilson@shawmedia.com

A professor’s 2024 campus book discussion at Illinois Valley Community College in Oglesby has inspired a communitywide service project, according to an IVCC news release.

Nora Villarreal, an English professor, launched the project in her English composition class, believing that the project could help students relate what they learn in the classroom to life outside the classroom.

“I knew ‘Parable of the Sower’ was a perfect chance to connect our reading, writing and research to the real world,” Villarreal said in the release. “The 1993

book by Octavia Butler presents a dystopian world whose problems mirror many current issues, such as poverty, hunger, natural disasters, and climate change. In my class, we connect the novel to our academic research and writing by focusing on a need it presents that reflects a need of our local community.”

The news release said students identified and researched a community issue, then went to work in small groups to develop a project to address the need. Ultimately, they folded their experiences into a research paper that advocated for a sustainable solution.

In the past three semesters, 140 students completed projects that paired them with the campus food pantry, animal rescue organizations and homeless shelters and led them to advocate for suicide prevention, poverty and crime reduction efforts, child welfare issues and student mental health awareness, according to the news release. Projects ranged from volunteering and donating to compiling resources and creating awareness campaigns.

The news release said one group alone raised more than $300 for a local animal shelter; another gathered more

than 400 books in a book drive benefiting a child welfare organization. One student crocheted items to donate and invited residents at a care center, where she works, to contribute, too.

Villarreal said she can see the impact on her students each semester.

“Whether the project asked them to break out of their shell, become aware of a community need, or challenged their preconceived notions, students emerge from the experience feeling empowered and inspired, with more faith in their own resilience, skills, and ability to have a positive impact on their world,” she said.

“It has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my career,” she said.

Villarreal said students who complete the program intend to stay involved and aware, and some continue actively volunteering.

She was so pleased with her students’ reactions that she made the book a requirement for the course.

Villarreal is hoping to expand the opportunities for her student volunteers. The next class starts this fall, and she is inviting community groups to contact her with potential projects.

GRANVILLE CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY CLEAN-UP

Granville Cemetery requests removal of ALL decorations except shepherd’s hooks and baskets that are RIGHT NEXT to or ON the monuments by June 9th. NO GLASS vases, jars or breakable containers should ever be placed in the cemetery. All shepherds’ hooks that are badly bent or rusted also need to be removed.

Families utilizing the Mausoleum are also reminded to remove any unsightly decorations or artificial flowers.

All items not cleared will be removed by the caretakers and discarded. Clearing these items represents an ever increasing expense to the cemetery. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

NO LIVE FLOWERS, PLANTS, BUSHES, ETC. ARE TO BE PLANTED AT ANY TIME! These make it impossible for the caretakers to do their job properly.

and no government support,” she said. “They see us as an answered prayer. We believe in these people.”

When the pigs have their first litter, the family keeps a pair, gives a pair to another family – thus the “revolving livestock” – and sells the remaining piglets. The program perpetuates good will and even survival, according to the release.

Since 2007, ITI has addressed poverty, famine, education, literacy, wellness and the impact of rampant HIV/AIDS, according to the release. Damron and her colleagues have worked alongside ITI and its director, Milton Tusingwire, much of that time.

Since 2008, Damron and her teams have built and continue to support Glory Primary School, a medical clinic, 14 new homes and 11 libraries, according to the release.

BIUG is currently providing financial assistance to 30 families and four homes are under construction.

“The villagers don’t care if we ever bring them anything,” Damron said in the release. “They just want us to be part of their lives. ... Their gratitude far outweighs anything we could ever give them.”

“These people have zero resources

“On piglet distribution day, women come in their finest dresses, sometimes with a child on their back. It is an exuberant event. When you hand over a pig, you are handing over a life-changing animal,” Damron said.

A pig operation can have immense benefit to a family by providing it the means to purchase medicine, food, seed and children’s tuition.

County of Putnam State of Illinois

Official publication of the general assessments of real property of record as of January 1, 2025 in the TOWNSHIP OF SENACHWINE, Putnam County, Illinois as certified to and equalized by this office

The Supervisor of Assessments has applied an equalization factor to the below listed classes of property in SENACHWINE township: Property Class Equalization Factor

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS

All property in Putnam County, other than farmland and coal, are assessed at 33.33% of the fair market value. Your property is to be assessed at the above listed median level of assessment for the assessment district. You may check the accuracy of your assessment by dividing your assessment by the median level of assessment. (33.33%) 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 estimated fair cash value of your property, you may be under-assessed. Your assessment, less exemptions will be used to determine your 2025, payable 2026 property tax bill. For example: Take your equalized assessed value, subtract any exemptions to determine your net taxable assessed value. Take that number times the most current tax rate to get an estimated amount of your property tax bill.

Taxpayers who consider their property incorrectly assessed need to contact the Supervisor of Assessments at 815-925-7238 to discuss their property. If you are not satisfied with the results, you may file an assessment complaint with the Putnam County Board of Review by July 3rd, 2025 at 4:00 p.m.

YOU MUST FILE AN ASSESSMENT COMPLAINT WITH THE BOARD OF REVIEW TO PRESERVE YOUR RIGHT TO AN APPEAL.

Continued on next page

printed on line at putnamil.gov If you have questions about filing a complaint, you may contact the Assessor’s office at 815-925-7238. You may be eligible for one or more of the following homestead exemptions if the property is your primary residence, you are liable for paying the property taxes, and in some instances, meet additional qualifications.

BOYS TRACK & FIELD: CLASS 1A STATE FINALS

Rodriguez doubles up at state PC junior finishes 7th in discus, 9th in shot

By KEVIN HIERONYMUS khieronymus@shawmedia.com and KEVIN CHLUM kchlum@shawmedia.com

CHARLESTON – Putnam

County junior Alex Rodriguez was aiming for one state medal in the IHSA Class 1A state track and field finals and landed two at Eastern Illinois University on Saturday.

He used a pair of PRs to place seventh in the discus at 49.75 meters and ninth in the shot put at 15.81.

“It felt pretty great to medal in two events,” Rodriguez said. “Honestly, my goal coming into the meet was to try and medal for discus only. But I surprised myself by throwing a monster PR in prelims (in the shot put). That throw got me into the finals and the ninth-place medal, which both were not planned on.

“If you told me I was going to medal in shot put going into it, I might’ve just laughed, but I came out and threw to the best of my abilities to get two medals.”

Rodriguez is the seventh state medalist in school history and only the third to land two or more medals at state in the same year.

Steve Safranski was the state champion in the long jump and 220yard dash in 1975 and repeated as state champion in both events in 1976, adding the 100-yard dash for a hat trick.

Tom O’Connor landed two state medals in 1976, placing fifth in the 220-yard dash and sixth in the 440yard dash.

Rodriguez was just one of a handful of Illinois Valley throwers who enjoyed state success, including two state champions and a runner-up in the discus and a fourthplace medalist in shot put.

Princeton senior Ian Morris and freshman Landen Hoffman finished

1-2 in the Class 2A discus.

Morris’ state-winning throw came on his second attempt in the finals, good for a PR of 53.58m

“It means a lot to me,” Morris said. “I’ve been down to state the past two years and I’ve come back disappointed in my performance. This year was different, and the past two experiences have made this moment much sweeter. The throw felt good, and it felt so good to hear them announce my mark after I threw,” Morris said. “I’m glad my hard work paid off.”

Hoffman, who was in first heading into Saturday’s finals, settled for second place at 52.39.

Morris wasn’t the area’s only discus state champion Saturday.

Bureau Valley senior Landon Hulsing claimed the 1A crown with a PR of 57.19 meters, which came on his first attempt in the finals.

“I was really nervous,” Hulsing said. “It’s unreal. My other personal was like 6 meters less. It was huge. I was super excited. When I threw it, I thought it was a decent throw. I didn’t even hear the mark because my family was freaking out. I got seventh last year, so I’m so happy. It’s unreal. I didn’t expect this, but thrilled to win state.”

Along with the two discus medals, Princeton senior Cade Odell moved up from eighth place to fourth place on his final throw in the shot put with a season best 16.06.

On the track, St. Bede senior Greyson Marincic finished his prep career by taking second in the 1A 110-meter hurdles with a PR of 14.79 seconds.

“I think I just wanted to end my senior season with a bang,” Marincic said. “The wind was definitely helping a bit.”

BASEBALL – 1A REGIONAL FINAL: HENRY-SENACHWINE

Mallards upset Panthers for regional title

By BRAD MARTIN Shaw Local News Network correspondent

GRANVILLE – Sometimes when you get two familiar teams that are battle-tested coming from a tough conference such as the Tri-County, you get a pitching battle with great defense and you can throw the records out the window.

That was the case Saturday, May 24, as No. 7-seeded Henry-Senachwine came away with the 1-0 upset over the host and No. 2-seeded Putnam County in the 1A Putnam County Regional championship behind great pitching and solid defense as well.

“We talked about which performance we were going to get from Jake Miller,” Henry coach Teddy Rowe said. “I think this was by far his best performance of the season. Big pitches when he needed them. They had some loud outs, but a pitcher is supposed to trust the defense behind them and today they made the plays. Big difference from the start of the year for a young team.”

Putnam County’s Johnathon Stunkel was equally as impressive as he threw eight pitches in the first inning and all were strikes to quickly set down the Mallards.

In the bottom half of the first, the Panthers threatened as Traxton Mattingly and Kade Zimmerlein both walked, but Miller was able to induce a groundout to end the threat.

In the bottom half of the inning, the Mallards led off with a single to center from Austin Keith.

After several foul balls, Miller singled past Maddox Poole at shortstop.

Two batters later, Jayden Deweerth grounded to Poole, who fired to second to get the out, but AJ Furar turned and fired to first to attempt the double play but the throw got away.

The error proved to be huge as Keith, with heads-up base running, continued around third and headed home to give the Mallards a 1-0 lead.

“Any time I’m rounding third base and there’s a throw to first, I have my head up to see the throw,” Keith said. “And this time I saw the ball go down the line and I raced toward home plate and was able to get the run in.”

Putnam County threatened again in the bottom of the third when Stunkel fouled off several pitches and then

connected for a double just off Ben Meachum’s glove in left field.

Mattingly then picked up a walk, but back-to-back hard-hit lineouts ended the Panthers’ threat.

The defense continued to play well as the Mallards had two hard-hit balls, but the defense of Drew Carlson in center field made sure Henry did not score again.

The defensive theme continued in the bottom half of the fourth as well when Mallards catcher Caleb Wiesbrock made a great diving play behind the plate and then Miller struck out the other two Panthers batters.

Henry looked like it was going to extend the lead in the fifth when Deweerth singled to left and then advanced to second on an error to go along with Meachum reaching via hit by pitch.

However, Stunkel and the Panthers recovered and ended the inning still

trailing 1-0 heading into the bottom half, but were sat down in order with two more Miller strikeouts.

In the bottom of the sixth, Zimmerlein drew a two-out walk, but was thrown out at second on the steal attempt.

The Mallards again threatened in the top of the seventh, but once again Stunkel was up to the task to keep it a 1-0 affair.

“Johnathon pitched his butt off today,” Putnam County coach Chris Newsome said. “We had a couple of errors and then one obviously hurt us in the end, but I couldn’t be prouder of this group. Last year we had eight wins. This year 19 against the teams we faced, especially in conference, is impressive. We just came up a little short. We hit the ball hard and made some loud outs, but just couldn’t get the ball down to get a rally going.”

With the season on the line in the

bottom of the seventh, Furar reached on a Mallards error and then pinch runner Carter Hochstatter stole second, but could not advance. Miller recorded a strikeout to end the game.

“We knew coming into this game that we had to play well,” Miller said. “Fastball was great the whole game, but had trouble with the curve at first, but the defense behind me was great and to win regional is just a great feeling.”

Henry was led by singles from Keith, Miller and Deweerth, while Miller took the win going seven innings and striking out five.

For the Panthers, Stunkel picked up the lone hit while also taking the loss, striking out nine and giving up one unearned run.

Henry (11-18) advanced to the St. Bede Sectional, falling to Lexington 3-1 in the semifinals on Wednesday, May 28, at Schwerickert Stadium in Peru.

2025 Rules of the Putnam County Board of Review

The Putnam County Board of Review (Board) consists of three members, together with additional alternate members, appointed by the Chairman of the Putnam County Board (35 ILCS 200/6-5 & 6-25). Any Member or Alternate Member of the Board may conduct a hearing. The Board has the authority to confirm, reduce or increase any assessment as appears just. The Board determines the correct assessment, prior to state equalization, of any parcel of real property which is the subject of an appeal, according to the law, based on standards of uniformity, market value, correctness of facts, evidence, exhibits and briefs submitted to or elicited by the Board from an appellant, assessor and/or other interested parties. Prior to filing an appeal with the Board, it is strongly recommended that a taxpayer discuss his/her assessment with the Township Assessor and/or the Supervisor of Assessments. Many times the reason for the assessment can be made clear and the need for filing an appeal eliminated. If, after talking with the Township Assessor and/or the Supervisor of Assessments, a taxpayer still wishes to pursue an appeal, he/she should familiarize him/herself with the 2025 Rules of the Board. Note: The time period for filing an appeal is not extended to accommodate discussions between taxpayers and assessors. The Board is required to make and publish reasonable rules “for the guidance of persons doing business with the Board and for the orderly dispatch of business.” (35 ILCS 200/9-5) These rules, for the 2025 session (taxes payable in 2026) are as follows.

I. Administrative Rules

A. Convening the Board. The Board convenes on or before the Third Monday of June and recesses from day to day as may be necessary.

B. Severability. In the event any section, provision or term of this policy is determined by a court or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, that determination shall not affect the remaining sections nor provisions, which shall continue in full force and effect. For this purpose, the provisions of this policy are severable.

C. Amendments. The rules may be amended from time to time; said amendments are effective upon their being conspicuously posted and prominently displayed.

D. Failure to Follow Board Rules. Failure to follow any rules, in and of itself, may be grounds for the denial of any change in assessment.

E. Authority of the Board. In connection with any hearing before the Board, the Board has full authority to:

1. Conduct and control the procedure of the hearing.

2. Admit or exclude testimony or other evidence into the record.

3. Administer oaths and affirmations and examine all persons appearing at the hearing to testify or to offer evidence.

4. Require the production of any book, record, paper or document at any stage of the appeal process or at the hearing which is the foundation for any evidence or testimony presented in the appeal. The Board also may request a property inspection to clarify parcel characteristics and/or condition of a subject property. Failure to produce a requested book, record, paper or document or failure to allow a property inspection within the prescribed time frame set by the Board may result in the confirmation of the assessment.

5. Terminate a hearing and require an appellant, appellant’s representative or witness to leave the proceeding, when an appellant or appellant’s agent, attorney or witness engages in threatening, disruptive, vulgar, abusive or obscene conduct or language that delays or protracts a proceeding or refuses to leave a hearing room after a decision has been rendered.

F. Freedom of Information Act. The Board is a public body and is subject to the Freedom of Information Act as defined in Illinois Law (35 ILCS 140/2). The following information is provided in accordance with the Act.

1. The Board is responsible for hearing appeals, corrections and requests for Certificates of Error on property assessments from the County’s four townships, acting on these applications, reviewing and making recommendations on exempt property applications and representing the interest of Putnam County before the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board.

2. The Board’s office is located in the Supervisor of Assessment’s Office, Putnam County Courthouse, P.O. Box 242, 120 N. Fourth Street, Hennepin, Il. 61327.

G. Open Meetings Act. Hearings held by the Board are open to the public, subject to the exceptions cited by the Open Meetings Act (35 ILCS 120/1.02).

1. Audio or video recording is permitted by any person. However, recording cannot disrupt a hearing nor are participants required to identify themselves to facilitate a recording. The Clerk of the Board must be informed in advance that an audio or video recording of a hearing will be made. The audio or video recorder must provide a copy of the video or audiotape to the Board within fifteen (15) days after the hearing and bear the cost of that copy.

2. The Board does not provide transcripts of a hearing. If any party desires a transcript of a hearing, a court reporter must be retained at the expense of that party. That party must provide a certified copy of the transcript to the Board within fifteen (15) days of the hearing and bear the cost of that transcript.

3. The Board’s assigned hearing room has a limited capacity. If any party anticipates the attendance of more than five witnesses or other persons at a hearing, that party must immediately contact the Clerk of the Board, who will attempt to make arrangements for a more suitable venue. If no one has informed the Clerk that a large group is expected and more persons come to a hearing than can be safely permitted in the room, the Board may restrict the number of people in the room to those who can be safely admitted.

4. Public comment may be accepted at the Board’s discretion.

H. Clerk of the Board of Review. The administrative functions of the Board are discharged by the Putnam County Chief County Assessment Officer, who shall act as the Clerk of the Board.

II. Appeal Hearings

The purpose of an appeal hearing is to evaluate a property assessment based upon evidence presented by all concerned parties: typically, appellant and assessor and, where applicable, intervener.

A. Standing. Only a taxpayer or owner of property (or attorney thereof) dissatisfied with a property’s assessment or a taxing body that has a tax revenue interest in the decision of the

Board on an assessment made by any local assessment officer may file an appeal with the Board. Appeals must be filed on the forms provided by the Board of Review and available in the Supervisor of Assessment’s office. All applicable items on the form must be completed. Any non-owner (such as an attorney) filing an appeal on behalf of an owner must have authorization by the owner of record.

B. Date of Filing. All appeals must be filed with the Board of Review on or before 30 days after the date of publication of the current year assessments (35 ILCS 200/16-55).

Appeals are deemed filed on the date

1. officially postmarked by the U. S. Postal Service or by a private mail/delivery service, or 2. hand delivered to the Board of Review office and stamped received.

Filing deadlines may fall on a postal holiday or a Board of Review holiday. In these cases, appeals must be post marked or hand delivered before the final deadline. The Board of Review office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and the following holidays:

New Year’s Day

Lincoln’s Birthday

President’s Day

Good Friday

Memorial Day

Juneteenth Day

Independence Day

Labor Day

Columbus Day

Election Day

Thanksgiving Day and the following Friday Christmas Day.

The Board accepts only official postmarks (not metered-mail dates) and hand deliveries on or before deadlines. It does not accept appeal forms nor case-related materials by fax. Late filings are not scheduled for hearings.

C. Appeal Forms and Information. The Board requests that all parties to an appeal utilize the prescribed forms and comparison grids of the Putnam County Board of Review. These forms are available in the Chief County Assessment Office. Neither the Board nor its Clerk will send appeal forms or information by any method other than first class mail.

1. Incomplete Forms. Incomplete appeal forms may not be set for hearing.

2. Contiguous Parcels. When filing an appeal, all contiguous parcels included in that property must be filed on, even if a reduction is sought on only one parcel. For purposes of this rule, contiguous parcels include all parcels that are physically contiguous, have a unity of use and are owned by the same owner(s) of record, including beneficial ownership.

D. Reductions of $100,000 or more. Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/16-55, if an appellant is requesting a reduction in assessed valuation of $100,000 or more, the Board must notify each respective taxing district. It is therefore required that appellants supply their requested assessment total in the appropriate space on the appeal form. If this information is not provided, the Board will assume the requested assessment is $100,000 or more and thus notify all potentially impacted taxing districts.

E. Submission of Evidence. The Board requires that the original appeal form and evidence, plus three (3) copies of the form and evidence, be submitted at the time of application, except for a documented appraisal report, which must be received in the Board office (irrespective of postmark) no more than ten (10) calendar days after the filing deadline. The Board forwards a copy of each appeal and accompanying evidence to the appropriate township assessor. Any appellant or agent/attorney filing additional evidence with the Board of Review after the initial case submission must forward the additional evidence to the Supervisor of Assessment’s Office. Evidence submitted at the hearing by any party (appellant, assessor or intervener) may be accepted by the Board; however, it may be given less weight than evidence submitted in accordance with Board rules.

F. Hearing Notification. An appellant will be notified by U.S. Mail of the hearing date, time and place of the hearing. If an appellant fails to appear for the hearing, or fails to telephone the Board on the scheduled date and time, the case will be decided on the evidence submitted with the appeal form along with any evidence submitted or presented by other parties to the appeal. If an appellant has requested a hearing by letter, no notice will be sent and the case will be decided upon the evidence submitted by the appellant with the appeal form plus any evidence submitted by other parties to the case: typically the township assessor and/or the Supervisor of Assessments where applicable, an intervener.

G. Scheduled Hearings. Scheduled hearings are not rescheduled due to time constraints of the property tax cycle.

H. Location of Hearings. Hearings of the Board are held at the Putnam County Courthouse, 120 N. Fourth Street, Hennepin, Il. 61327. Meetings may be held at other locations in the County at the discretion of the Board.

I. Hearing Format. Appeal hearings are conducted in the following manner: The appellant or his/her representative may present testimony regarding the assessment and are required to answer any questions from the Board. The Township Assessor or the Supervisor of Assessments is expected to be present to give evidence and testimony concerning the property and its assessment. Each party may then present closing or rebuttal remarks. This concludes the evidentiary portion of the hearing. Board Members then deliberate between or among themselves, considering the evidence, testimony and rebuttal, and generally announce their decision at the close of the hearing.

J. Hearing Length. Because of the volume of appeals before the Board, most hearings are scheduled at fifteen-minute intervals. All presentations by an appellant and an assessor, along with questions and the deliberation of the Board, must be completed within this time frame.

K. Decisions After all hearings are completed for a township, official findings for each case are mailed to all appellants or their representatives. No written decisions are released prior to this time.

L. Evidence Submitted by the Township Assessor and/or Supervisor of Assessment’s Office. All evidence to support a township assessor’s and/or the Supervisor of Assessment’s opinion of assessed value, including complete Property Record Cards for subject properties and any comparables, must be submitted to the Board no less than five (5) calendar days prior to a hearing. For each appeal, a total of three (3) copies of the evidence must be submitted to the Board. The Board also strongly encourages township assessors to forward township evidence

to appellants five (5) days prior to their respective scheduled hearing dates.

M. Evidence Submitted by Interveners. A taxing body wishing to intervene in a matter before the Board must file a Request to Intervene with the Board of Review at least five (5) days in advance of the scheduled hearing. This form is available in the Supervisor of Assessment’s office. Any evidence being presented by a taxing district needs to be supplied to the Assessor, appellant and Board of Review prior to the hearing.

III. Bases for Assessment Appeals

A. Appeals Based upon Incorrect Assessor Data.

1. Definition. Incorrect data includes, but is not limited to, size of the site, size of the improvements, physical features and location attributes.

2. Evidence. Appeals based on the application of incorrect subject-property data by a township assessor must include a copy of the property record card for the subject, a statement highlighting the incorrect data and evidence of the correct data, such as a plat of survey, photograph or construction documents.

3. Assessor Access to Property. Appellants are urged to schedule a property inspection with their Assessor’s office for appeals related to the description, physical characteristics and/or condition of the subject property.

B. Appeals Based on the Recent Sale of a Subject Property.

The Board considers the sale of a subject property, which occurred within twelve months of the assessment date, as possible evidence of market value. The Board requires the following information in such an appeal:

1. Documents that disclose the purchase price of the property and the date of purchase including the Settlement Statement, or RESPA, and the State of Illinois PTAX form.

2. Testimony and or documentation revealing the identity of seller(s) and buyer(s) and any relationship between or among them (other than seller and buyer) including, but not limited to, those existing by blood, marriage, corporate parent-subsidiary companies or by virtue of ownership of non-publicly held stock, and whether or not the transaction was arms length.

3. An itemized Bill of Sale, signed by seller(s) and buyer(s), and supporting documentation of the fair cash value of any personal property included in the sale of the subject property.

C. Appeals Based on Fair Cash Value.

1. Definition. Fair cash value is defined as “the amount for which a property can be sold in the due course of business and trade, not under duress, between a willing buyer and a willing seller.” (35 ILCS 200/1-50) Fair cash value is often used interchangeably with market value.

2. Burden of Proof. When fair cash value is the basis of an appeal, the value of the subject property must be proved by a preponderance of the evidence.

3. Appraisal Evidence. The best evidence of fair cash value is a professional appraisal done for ad valorem purposes, valuing a subject property as of the lien date, January 1st of the current assessment year. Appraisals obtained for the purpose of an appeal this assessment year must state the subject’s value as of January 1, 2025.

a. To be considered, an appraisal must be:

i. Prepared in conformance to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice as currently adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board.

ii. Signed by the appraiser(s).

iii. Presented in entirety, including all exhibits, with no missing pages.

b. Appraisal testimony offered to prove the valuation asserted by any party shall not be accepted at the hearing unless a documented appraisal report has been timely submitted.

c. Except for homestead property, appraisal testimony offered to prove the valuation asserted may be given only by a preparer of the appraisal whose signature appears thereon.

An appraisal which does not accompany an initial Appeal Form is acceptable to the Board, if it is received by the Board (irrespective of post mark) within ten (10) calendar days of the filing deadline and if it is distributed by the appellant in the following manner: one (1) original and two (2) copies to the Board of Review and one (1) copy to the appropriate assessor’s office. Appraisals which are not filed in a timely manner nor appropriately distributed to the Board of Review and appropriate assessor may not be considered by the Board.

4. Recent Usable Sales of Comparable Properties. In lieu of a professional appraisal, recent usable sales of comparable properties may be submitted as evidence for a fair cash value appeal. A usable sale is an arms length transaction of a property between or among unrelated parties, who are not under any duress to buy or sell the property which has been offered on the open market and advertised for sale.

If recent usable sales of comparable properties are submitted as evidence for a fair cash value appeal, it is preferable to select the best three (3) comparables which have closed as close to the lien date, January 1, 2010, as possible. Comparables should be located near the subject and/or in the same neighborhood. They should be similar in style (e.g., ranch, 2-story, split-level, etc.), construction (e.g., brick, frame, with or without a basement, etc.), age, size (e.g., square footage of lot and building), quality and condition to the subject. If comparables are not located in the subject’s neighborhood, additional explanation may be needed to confirm their similarity.

Characteristics of the subject and three (3) comparables must be displayed on the Residential Comparison Grid, and submitted with the original appeal, together with pictures of the subject and comparables. These forms are available in the Supervisor of Assessment’s office. An appellant or agent/attorney is reminded to view comparable properties to confirm their similarity to the subject.

Comparable properties offered in testimony but not submitted with the original appeal may not be considered by the Board, unless provided to all parties prior to a hearing.

5. Other Evidence. Other evidence of fair cash value may consist of, but is not limited to, the following:

a. Listing contract and Multiple Listing Service history of a subject property for 2024 and 2025.

b. A complete (final) sworn contactor’s affidavit of costs, if the improvement is new construction, together with a Settlement Statement (or RESPA).

6. Income Producing Property. When an assessment appeal for an income-producing

property is based on fair cash value, the income and expense data of the property must be submitted as evidence.

a. Where the entire property is covered under a single lease, the entire lease must be submitted as evidence.

b. Where multiple leases are in place, the Board will consider lease summaries, audited financial statements, rent rolls with totals and representative samples of leases submitted by the taxpayer and any such documents requested by the Board.

i. If the property is fully residential with six or fewer units, the appellant must provide to the Board at the time of filing the operating statements, audits and all other pertinent information.

ii. If the property has seven or more units or has a non-residential use, the appellant must submit, at the time of filing, income and expense statements for 2022, 2023 and 2024.

c. Vacancy. If an appeal for reduced assessment is based upon vacancy, the appellant must provide an affidavit of occupancy.

D. Appeals Based on Equity.

1. Definition. Real property assessments shall be valued uniformly as the General Assembly provides by law (Art.9, Sec 2, Illinois Constitution of 1970). An inequitable assessment is one that values one property at a higher level of assessment (relative to fair cash value) than assessments of comparable properties. (Note: Courts in Illinois have found that mathematical exactitude is not an absolute requirement in estimating property assessments.)

2. Burden of Proof. When unequal treatment in the assessment process is the basis of an appeal, inequity must be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

3. Evidence Considered. Comparable properties usually are submitted as evidence for equity appeals, arguing that the assessed value per square foot of a subject is higher than that of comparables.

It is preferable to select the best three (3) comparables. Comparables should be located near the subject and/or in the same neighborhood. They should be similar in style (e.g., ranch, 2-story, split-level, etc.), construction (e.g., brick, frame, with or without a basement, etc.), age, size (e.g., square footage of above ground living area), quality and condition to the subject. If comparables are not located in the subject’s neighborhood, additional explanation may be needed to confirm their similarity.

Characteristics of the subject and three (3) comparables must be displayed on the Residential Comparison Grid and submitted with the original appeal, together with pictures of the subject and comparables.

An appellant or agent/attorney is reminded to view potential comparables to confirm their similarity to the subject.

Comparable properties, offered in testimony but not submitted with the original appeal, may not be considered by the Board, unless provided to all parties prior to a hearing.

4. Income-producing Properties. When an assessment appeal for an income-producing property is based on equity, the income and expense data of the property must be submitted as evidence, including all leases and/or rent rolls for the three (3) years previous to the lien date.

E. Appeals Based upon Matters of Law.

1. Definition. Matters of law include such factors as carrying forward prior year residential appeal results, preferential assessment and farmland valuation.

2. Evidence. Appeals alleging an incorrect application of law must include a brief, citing the law in question, as well as copies of any legal opinions and/or judicial rulings regarding the law in question.

3. Prior Board of Review Decisions. Owner occupied residential property assessment appeals based upon prior year Board of Review decisions should contain the Notice of Finding from the Board of Review from the general assessment year or from the subsequent year where applicable. Aside from substantial cause, prior year decisions on owner-occupied residential properties should be carried forward until the next general assessment year, subject to the Chief County Assessment Officer’s equalization. Cases based solely on this reason will be set for review only after a review by the Board or its staff.

4. Additional Copy Required. In addition to the customary one (1) original and three (3) copies of the appeal form and accompanying documentary evidence, an additional one (1) copy must be provided to the Board. The Board will forward the additional copy to the Board’s legal counsel.

IV. Omitted Property

A. Authority. The Board has the authority to place an assessment on omitted property (35 ILCS 200/9-160, et seq.).

B. Notice. If the Board initiates proceedings designed to place omitted property on the tax rolls, the Board gives at least ten (10) working days written notice to the concerned parties, advising them of the Board’s proposed action.

V. Non-Homestead Exemptions

A. Applications. Applications for Non-Homestead exemptions must be filed on forms of the Illinois Department of Revenue: PTAX-300, PTAX-300-FS (for federal and state agencies) and PTAX-300-R (for religious entities). These forms, along with the general and specific instructions for their completion, are available at the Supervisor of Assessment’s office. If an exemption for multiple parcels is being sought, separate applications may be required. See the Illinois Department of Revenue general instructions to determine the required number of separate applications. The petition and supporting documentation must be submitted in duplicate. According to the Illinois Department of Revenue, failure to answer all questions and provide all evidence will result in the return of the petition and delay a final decision.

B. Documents. The following documents must be attached to the application forms:

1. Proof of ownership (deed, contract for deed, title insurance policy, copy of the condemnation order and proof of payment, etc.)

2. Picture of the property

3. Notarized affidavit of use

4. Copies of any contracts or leases on the property

5. Parsonage form, where applicable.
