Moultrie County parcel 06-06-31-000-105

Is the assessment on 1201 Cr 1500N Sullivan, IL 61951 fair?

Assessed at $54,467 as residential, JONATHAN CREEK 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

31.7%

of what it sold for (middle half 25–40.1%); the statute says 33.33%

This parcel among them

57 of 69

sold homes within 2 miles are assessed below it

Their assessed values

$40,207

median; $4,774 to $210,785. This parcel: $54,467

At 25.9% of what you paid, this parcel is assessed below the 31.7% the neighbours who sold are. There is no case here, and no reason to draw attention to it.

This parcel's own recorded sale: $210,000 in Jul 2025; the current assessment is 25.9% 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

  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.
