Hey, Plato and Elgin Township! Assessment Changes Published Aug. 5
The 2014 assessment changes for Plato and Elgin Townships are being published Tuesday, Aug. 5, in The Elgin Courier-News.
After all revisions and corrections by each township assessor are applied, an equalization factor is calculated for the township; each non-farm property in Plato Township was equalized with a factor of 0.9832, and each non-farm property in Elgin Township was equalized with a factor of 0.9743.
You also can read the assessment changes electronically on the Kane County Supervisor of Assessments webpage. Another excellent way to find out the information on your property is to do a property search on your local township assessor’s website. You usually can search simply by plugging in your address, but if you happen to have your pin or parcel code number handy, that can make the search easier.
