My staff and I completed our work on the 2025 assessments on August 28, 2025.  The Supervisor of Assessments will publish the Equalization Notice in the Carol Stream/West Chicago Suburban Life Newspapers on September 19, 2025.  Assessment notices will be mailed on September 18, 2025, to property owners whose assessments received changes before the equalization factor was applied.

Wayne Township assessments received an equalization factor of 1.087.  This factor is due to sale prices of homes continuing to rise significantly during the past three years.  Because the equalization factor was applied to all properties, it will not cause taxes to increase.  Taxes increase when taxing bodies increase their levies.  

The final date to file an assessment appeal for 2025 is October 20, 2025.  To appeal your assessment, you must either provide evidence that your assessed value, multiplied by three, is higher than the market value of your property as of January 1, 2025, or provide evidence that your property is not assessed uniformly with similar properties in your area.  

Please call my office if you have questions about your 2025 assessment.  My staff will be happy to assist you.
