Is the assessment on 17017 E 1700th Av Teutopolis IL 62467 fair?

Assessed at $99,190 as residential, Teutopolis 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

27.8%

of what it sold for (middle half 24.8–33.2%); the statute says 33.33%

sold homes within 2 miles are assessed below it

Their assessed values

$68,895

median; $25,280 to $193,140. This parcel: $99,190

At 28.4% of what you paid, this parcel is assessed about where the neighbours who sold are (27.8%). That is what a fair assessment looks like.

This parcel's own recorded sale: $349,000 in Apr 2024; the current assessment is 28.4% 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. 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 17017 E 1700th Av Teutopolis IL 62467 against what has sold and tell you honestly whether an appeal looks worth the trouble. No cost, no obligation.

No obligation, and we will not pass your details to anyone else.
