Welcome to the Assessor's Office website of Sugar Grove Township. It has been created as a service in providing quick and convenient access to information in our Township and to improve the equity, efficiency and transparency on behalf of taxpayers and taxing jurisdictions. The Assessor is responsible for assessing property at one-third of market value or fair cash value with the exception of farmland, railroad or coal properties which are properties valued by the State of Illinois Department of Revenue. Fair Market Value is determined by reviewing all sales within your neighborhood from the prior 3 years combined. If assessments are too low, the county can and will apply an equalization factor to all properties in order to bring assessments up to the required statutory level in order to maintain one-third of the fair market value. The equalized assessed value is then used to apportion the tax burden over all property owners. All local governments, townships, schools, fire districts, forest preserve districts, park districts, libraries, etc., receive their income from taxes levied against property values as determined by the Assessor. The Assessor does not levy, collect, or distribute tax revenues. Get detailed information about properties in Sugar Grove Township.
