Pike County property tax appeal 2027: deadline, forms and how to file
To appeal a Pike County assessment, file with the Pike County Board of Review by mail, by email or in person; in Illinois the deadline is 30 days after the township assessment list is published (Cook County uses township filing windows). Confirm the exact date on your notice or with the assessor; we add each county's 2027 date here when it is published.
Pike County publishes the assessment roll in the local newspaper and on the county website. Assessment notices for the 2025 assessment year were issued in spring 2026 and the Board accepted complaints from 04/08/2026 through 05/08/2026; the 2026 Board of Review page says dates will be posted when available.

How to file in Pike County
- Step 1
File the appeal
Use the method your notice lists, by the deadline on the notice.
- Step 2 · before the hearing
Prepare and submit your evidence
Overvaluation must be shown by a preponderance of the evidence; a uniformity (equity) claim needs clear and convincing evidence. The strongest evidence is a recent arm’s-length purchase of your home, or an appraisal as of January 1. Otherwise use at least three comparable sales, or for equity at least three similar nearby homes with their assessments and property record cards, in a grid. Bring a photo of your home and its property record card.
- Step 3
Meet, then hear
An informal review with Township assessor or Supervisor of Assessments comes first; if you decline the offer, the Pike County Board of Review hears the case. Most reductions happen at the first step.

Pike County questions
When is the Pike County appeal deadline for 2027?
No 2027 date is published yet. The board’s rule: All appeals must be filed on or before 30 days after the publication date of a township's current-year assessments (35 ILCS 200/16-55); the schedule and deadline for each township are posted on the Board of Review page of the county website. Filing is by hand delivery during business hours, by U.S. postmark (or private-carrier receipt or signed affidavit of posting; metered-mail dates are not accepted), or by e-mail (dated as received). Faxed forms are not accepted. The complaint and evidence must be filed together; a form missing required items has 5 calendar days to be completed.
