Functions of The Board of Review:

Note: The Mercer County CCAO has published and sent YR 2023 notice to taxpayers (obtain information from the assessment tab) farmland notice on October 18, 2023, and the deadline to file an appeal with the Board of Review is 30 days after publication.  Publication of the change of assessment notice to taxpayer was published in the Aledo Times Record.  Appeal forms and rules are available at the Mercer County Supervisor of Assessments Office, the Mercer County Board of Review Office, or obtain them on the Mercer County website: mercercountyil.org 
Disclaimer: On the original preamble that was published on 10/18/2023 an error was found stating 
"Assessments have decreased by the percentage listed in this publication for each individual township." This is incorrect. Assessments have increased by the percentage 1.0128. Due to this error, we have extended the appeal deadline 2 weeks. The appeal deadline is now December 4,2023.
