Is the assessment on 972 Cr 1350N Sullivan, IL 61951 fair?
Assessed at $629,215 as commercial, SULLIVAN 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
32.6%
of what it sold for (middle half 27–35.8%); the statute says 33.33%
This parcel among them

Their assessed values
$39,401
median; $7,591 to $71,507. This parcel: $629,215
Your assessment is higher than 33 of the 33 homes near you that sold in the last 3 years, in a neighbourhood already assessed at 32.6% of what it sells for. Not proof of anything — those homes may simply be smaller — but worth asking about.
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.

We will look at 972 Cr 1350N Sullivan, IL 61951 against what has sold and tell you honestly whether an appeal looks worth the trouble. No cost, no obligation.
