Effingham County parcel 11-07-023-036
Is the assessment on 14602 N 1025th St Effingham IL 62401 fair?
Assessed at $111,900 as residential, Summit Township. Below: how the homes near it that actually sold are assessed against what they sold for, and where this one sits among them. Two facts from the county's own record — not an opinion of value, which is what an appeal ultimately needs and what we will give you if you ask.
How the neighbourhood is assessed
27.6%
of what it sold for (middle half 17.5–29.8%); the statute says 33.33%
This parcel among them
5 of 12
sold homes within half a mile are assessed below it
Their assessed values
$120,930
median; $36,090 to $208,320. This parcel: $111,900
Your own sale is the strongest evidence there is: at 33.9% of what you paid, this parcel is assessed well above the 27.6% the neighbours who sold are. That is worth asking about.
This parcel's own recorded sale: $330,000 in May 2024; the current assessment is 33.9% of that. A recent arm's-length sale of the property itself is the evidence a Board of Review weighs most.
The homes that sold near it
Arm's-length sales recorded with the county in the last 3 years, nearest first, with the assessed value the county carries for each today. Whether any of them is like this house — size, age, condition — is the question the record cannot answer and an appeal turns on.

Prices from PTAX-203 transfer declarations; assessed values from the county assessor's current file (so a home reassessed after its sale shows today's figure against yesterday's price). Not MLS figures. Nothing here names an owner.
How an appeal actually works here
- Talk to the assessor first. Many differences are a record error — a garage that came down, a square footage that was never right — and get fixed with a phone call, no appeal needed.
- The county Board of Review. A written complaint in the window after the township's assessments are published each year; the office can tell you the dates for this township. Evidence: a recent appraisal, comparable sales, or comparable assessments (the equity argument — the table above is where that starts).
- Then the state. A Board of Review decision can go to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board within 30 days of the decision — its forms and rules are on ptab.illinois.gov.

Ask us to look at it properly
The table above is where an equity argument starts, not where it ends: a Board of Review wants an opinion of market value, and that means someone who has stood in the houses. We will look at 14602 N 1025th St Effingham IL 62401 against what has sold and tell you honestly whether an appeal looks worth the trouble. No cost, no obligation.
