Macon County deadline tracker

Macon County 2026 assessment appeal deadlines

In Macon County, you don't get one countywide deadline. Each township publishes its assessment list in a local newspaper, then you generally have about 30 days to file with the Board of Review. City limits are not township lines — check your parcel.

How to use this tracker Find your township → note its status → if open, run a free estimate; if TBD, get an alert; if closed, review next-step options.
Open — You can still file for 2026. TBD — The assessment list is not published yet. Closed — The 2026 Board of Review window ended.

Verified against Macon County sources: October 7, 2026. Statuses use America/Chicago time.

Official Macon County sources

Macon County Board of Review and Supervisor of Assessments state that an appeal affecting the current assessment year must be filed on or before 30 calendar days after the date of publication. Township publication dates may differ. As of 2026-10-07 the county has not posted a 2026 assessment publication announcement (the 2025 announcement listed publication 2025-09-27 and a closed deadline of 2025-10-27). Product surfaces TBD / 30-days-after-publication and does not invent a 2026 dated deadline. File PTAX-230 Non-Farm (original + one copy) in person at Room 401 or by mail to 141 South Main Street, Decatur, IL 62523; current county materials do not list fax or email as complaint filing channels. Residential Appeal Comparable Worksheet expects subject + 3 comps with sales within the last year when using comps / market analysis.
