Under 35 ILCS 200, Peoria County assesses property at 33.33% of fair market value. A home worth $150,000 on the market would carry an assessed value of about $50,000. The Illinois Department of Revenue applies a multiplier each year to equalize values across townships. That produces the equalized assessed value, or EAV. Your tax rate is applied to the EAV. Exemptions then reduce the EAV before the rate hits. The homestead exemption in Peoria County cuts up to $8,000 from the EAV for owner-occupied homes. Seniors qualify for up to $8,000 more. These exemptions show up as part of your Peoria County property tax records when you search any parcel.
