Property Tax Calculation
The State of Illinois does not have a statewide property tax. Property taxes are determined at local levels, and pay for services such as schools, libraries, park districts, fire protection districts and others. In Illinois, taxable property includes only real property such as land, buildings or permanent facilities.
Market Value
Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.
Assessed Value
Assessment is the basis upon which taxing authorities tax a property. Real property in Illinois is generally assessed at 1/3 of its market value.
Tax Equalization Factor
The Illinois Department of Revenue is required by law to calculate a tax equalization factor, often called the multiplier, to achieve uniform property assessment throughout the state. Once the Department has certified the final equalization factor, the County Clerk applies the factor to the assessed value determined by the Assessor and modified by the Board of Review. The new value is called equalized assessed value (EAV) and farm land and building assessed value may be added to give the property's taxable value.
Right now the property assessment equalization factor for McHenry County is 1.0000.
Exemptions and Taxable Value
Exemptions are available in McHenry County, which may lower the property's tax bill. These are deducted from the property's assessed value. The amount obtained is multiplied by the tax equalization factor to give the property's taxable value.
We have no information about whether any exemptions currently apply to this property. Therefore, the taxable value will be equal to the assessed value.
Property Tax
Property tax is obtained by multiplying the property's assessed value by the total tax rate applicable to it and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions would pay.
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayed here due to various abatement and financial assistance programs or to non ad-valorem taxes.
