Algonquin Township Assessment Appeals Lag

Algonquin Township Assessor Bob Kunz  told trustees Wednesday the County's Board of Review has only ground through about 60 percent of the 1,600 valuation appeals filed by township property owners last year.

Grafton Township Assessor Bill Ottley reported last month that appeals there are done but Kunz said it's taking longer in Algonquin Township since there are more parcels (38,000) and more appeals.

"(The Board of Review) is doing 70 cases a day," he said. "It's a heck of a way to appraise property, 15 minutes at a time."
