Effingham County parcel 12-12-232-007
Is the assessment on 16136 E 1485th Av Teutopolis IL 62467 fair?
Assessed at $78,180 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
27.2%
of what it sold for (middle half 25.9–33.8%); the statute says 33.33%

Their assessed values
$62,740
median; $39,880 to $103,090. This parcel: $78,180
At 22.3% of what you paid, this parcel is assessed about where the neighbours who sold are (27.2%). That is what a fair assessment looks like.
This parcel's own recorded sale: $350,000 in May 2026; the current assessment is 22.3% 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.
