***WINNEBAGO COUNTY HAS THE HIGHEST PROPERTY TAX RATE in ILLINOIS. ***

Your Property Tax is based on your properties assessed value as defined by your Township Assessor and the history of property assessment appeals in the county demonstrates you are likely being over assessed.

Year 2013 in Winnebago County, IL, 68.5% of the appeals submitted were given a reduction of assessed value and thus less taxes!
(in 2013, of the 6,131 property owners filed complaints, the board of review granted at least some reduction in 4,197 cases.) 


Rockford Register Star reported on 8/14/14: "Winnebago County assessments show property values down for fifth straight year".
I ask you, have they have lowered your assessment??


Knowing these facts, why would you not do your research and contest your taxes? Help me to help you!
