Home Assessor
Hello McHenry Township Residents!
As I write this, it’s hard to believe that it’s March 2025 already! It has been a busy time for us here in the Assessor’s office as we worked to finish up our 2024 appeals last month.
As we move our focus to the 2025 assessments, we are continuing to see the sales trending upward. There is also quite a it of new construction whether residential single family homes, townhomes, new apartment complexes or commercial properties.
You may also see our township vehicles in your area and this is an indication that we are updating our property record cards with new photos and updated outside measurements. My field staff is there only to collect information, if you have additional questions, please contact my office.
I want emphasize to you the importance of paying attention to your tax bill when you receive it in May. This will give you information on the exemptions you are receiving and those you may be eligible for. If there are exemptions you feel you should be receiving and they are not listed on your tax bill, please call the office at (815) 385-0175 and my staff will assist you.
The County will be mailing out the Senior Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption and the Disabled Persons and Disabled Veterans Exemption renewals the 2nd week of March. If you filed a 2024 Assessment Complaint, the final decision notices will be mailed soon after the exemption renewals.
Wishing all a safe and healthy spring!
Sincerely,
Mary Mahady, C.I.A.O.
