Is the assessment on 122 N Shelby Moweaqua, IL 62550 fair?
Assessed at $42,477 as residential, Moweaqua 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.

Your assessment sits in the middle of the 60 homes near you that sold in the last 3 years. That is what a fair assessment usually looks like; the question is only whether those homes are like yours.
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.

Assessed value $42,477 × the 2024 rate of 8.14% for tax code 10003 (Moweaqua Township), billed in 2025.
The owner-occupied figures take the General Homestead ($6,000 off the assessed value) and Senior Citizens ($8,000) exemptions; the senior freeze, veterans’ and home-improvement exemptions are not shown and can lower a bill further. The rate is the newest the clerk has published; the next levy will move it a little, and a sale can prompt a reassessment. Sources: Shelby County Clerk, Tax Codes and Districts Catalog, 2024 (payable 2025) and the assessor's current file. The bill of record is the treasurer's: Erica Firnhaber, Shelby County Treasurer.
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.
