Forms and Documents

Homestead Exemption Application Forms

  • General Homestead (Residential) Exemption:  The residential exemption is available on a property owner's principle residence. This exemption is administered by the Township Assessors. Generally, this exemption is granted automatically. Please contact your Township Assessor for more information.
  • Homestead Improvement Exemption:  This four-year exemption initiated by the Township Assessor reduces the assessed value of an existing, owner-occupied home up to $25,000 ($75,000 market value) when the assessment has increased due to a new physical improvement to the property. In many townships, this exemption is automatically applied by the Assessor's Office without a formal application by the property owner. Please contact your Township Assessor for more information.

Board of Review Assessment Appeal Forms

Assessment Abstract Reports

Counties are required to file a PTAX-260-A Form with the Illinois Department of Revenue on an annual basis. This report list locally assessed parcel counts and total locally assessed value totals by property class for individual townships and for the entire county. This report does not include property assessed by the State. The totals do not include the loss of taxable assessed value resulting from the granting of the General Homestead (excluding life care facilities and mixed use properties), Senior Citizens Homestead (excluding life care facilities and mixed use properties), and the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemptions. Column number 7 however does reflect the taxable value of dual valuation properties including Open Space and Conservation Easement preferential assessments along with value loss due to the granting of Homestead Improvement, Veterans/Fraternal Organizational Assessment Freeze, and Disabled Veterans Exemptions and the taxable value of certain preferential assessment types such as Historic Residence Assessment Freeze, Demonstration Homes and Subdivides Property Assessments.
