Meet the Assessor

Welcome to the Kaneville Township Assessor’s website. This site was created as a service to our residents to provide quick and convenient access to Kaneville Township assessment information.

As the Kaneville Township Assessor I am required by law to uniformly assess properties at a median level of 33 1/3% (one third) of market value. Equitable assessments ensure a fair distribution of the property tax burden among all property owners.

The Assessor's Office maintains a file for every property located within the township. This file includes information about the lot, drawings and photos if the property is improved, and descriptions of the improvements. When buildings are constructed, we gather information from blueprints and through field inspections of each property. Changes to properties are monitored through building permits, sales listing information, and neighborhood reviews.

Assessments must be equalized to a median level of (33 1/3%) on an annual basis, and a General Reassessment is required every four years to maintain or increase assessment uniformity in each neighborhood. Assessments increase or decrease within a neighborhood based on the three prior years' sales. If necessary, assessment changes are made within a neighborhood based on style, location, or other criteria.

I will assist homeowners in applying for Exemptions for which they are eligible. I am committed to serving the people of Kaneville Township fairly and equitably and I am looking forward to helping you.

Please take time to look at the additional information provided on this site. You may search a property by PIN or address and I have included things like FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) and links to exemption information. I hope that this information is helpful. Please call my office with any additional questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you.
