Assessment records and exemptions

The McLean County Supervisor of Assessments, also known as the chief county assessment officer, handles township equalization, exemptions, and Board of Review hearing support. Assessment questions, exemption questions and applications, and real estate bill name and address changes route through this office.

The Assessor office page identifies the office location, hours, and general assessment role. Homestead exemptions may reduce taxable value before taxes are calculated, and eligibility can depend on ownership, occupancy, age, disability, veteran status, income, or other requirements listed for each exemption.

Assessment complaints and Board of Review

Taxpayers who object to an assessment must complete a complaint form and file within the deadline for the township. McLean County states that an assessment complaint must be filed within 30 days after the notice of assessment is published for the township.

The Board of Review may change property values in the county and may hold hearings in the Supervisor of Assessments conference room. The Board of Review also has equalization authority.

Late assessment complaints are not heard, so check the township publication date and filing deadline before preparing an appeal.

GIS maps and parcel context

The McLean County GIS program provides map-based tools for property data, boundaries, zoning, land records, and other geospatial information. The McGIS website includes a Map Viewer and open data categories such as land records, administrative areas, housing, transportation, and community safety.

GIS data is for display and reference. McGIS states that only on-site verification, a licensed professional land surveyor, or direct contact with the specific entity can confirm accuracy for a particular use.
