Pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/10-115, the farmland assessment for the 2019 assessment year will increase by 10% of the preceding year’s median cropped soil productivity index 111 as certified by the Illinois Department of Revenue with data provided by the Farmland Assessment Technical Advisory Board resulting in a $29.10 per acre increase for each soil productivity index.

The address of the Supervisor of assessments office is 101 S. Main, Taylorville, IL 62568, and the phone number is (217) 824-5900.
