Kankakee County Property Tax Inquiry

Use the Kankakee County Property Tax Inquiry to search property tax information by parcel or name. The system includes parcel and mobile home search options.

• Parcel number
• Last name as it appears on the tax bill

For the most accurate search, enter the parcel number when you have it. If you search by name, use the last name exactly as it appears on the tax bill.

• Select the search type for parcel or mobile home records.
• Enter at least one supported search field.
• Review the matching tax bill or property tax record details.
• Reprint the tax bill only when the bill includes a barcode.

Payment barcode warning: If a payment is received without a barcode, a $5 fee applies.

Online payment and tax bill status

The county’s official payment site is available through Kankakee County online tax payments. The payment site notes that information may be slightly dated and should be used for informational purposes.

If taxes were paid at a local bank but still show as unpaid online, the payment may not have been processed yet. Payments made at local banks before the posted due dates are considered on time.

Delinquent research caution: During delinquent-property processing periods, the accuracy of online information is not guaranteed.

Assessment, exemptions, and appeals

The Kankakee County Supervisor of Assessments Office oversees real property valuation for assessment. Its duties include homestead exemptions, parcel ownership and tax roll updates, assessment-change notices, farmland assessments, and local equalization.

For exemptions, the county directs applicants to the Assessor’s Office rather than the Treasurer’s Office. Available exemption topics include general homestead, senior homestead, senior assessment freeze, persons with disabilities, disabled veterans, returning veterans, and home improvement exemptions.

Assessment complaints are handled through the Kankakee County Board of Review process. A separate complaint must be filed for each parcel appealed, and the complaint form asks for the PIN, site address, current assessed value, requested value, and evidence supporting the appeal.

Property owners can review the Supervisor of Assessments Office for assessment functions and forms, including mailing change requests and homestead exemption applications.
