Publication of 2011 Assessment Changes

Dundee Township’s 2011 Assessments are now available from our On-Line Property Search database.

On November 15, 2011, the Kane County Supervisor of Assessments published Dundee Township’s 2011 assessment changes in the Elgin Courier News. Included in the publication was the Township-wide Annual Equalization Factor of 1.0776. To obtain assessment information about a property in our township, you can visit the On-Line Property Search database at www.dundeetownship.com or call the Dundee Township Assessor’s Office at 847-428-2634 for assistance.

Pursuant to state law, the deadline to file 2011 Assessment Appeals to the Kane County Board of Review for the properties within Dundee Township is December 15, 2011. No complaint for property in this township can be accepted after that date.

Property Tax Clinics

The Kane County Board of Review is offering eight free property tax clinics in 2011.

The next clinic is set for Tuesday, December 6, 2011. The clinics are held in the Auditorium of Building A of the Kane County Government Center Campus in Geneva. Each clinic begins promptly at 6:00 p.m. and lasts about two hours. Topics addressed include how assessed valuations are developed, the process for filing assessment complaints and appeals, and how to apply for homestead exemptions that can reduce a homeowner’s property tax burden.

The clinics are not suitable forums for discussing any specific individual assessments; these questions are best directed to the Dundee Township Assessor’s Office.

Both taxpayers and practitioners (attorneys, appraisers, brokers, etc.) are welcome to attend. For more information, call the Board of Review office at (630) 208-3818 or visit www.KaneCountyAssessments.org/Clinics.pdf
