How it works
In Sangamon County, property tax begins with fair market value. Under Illinois law, most property is assessed at one-third (33.33%) of market value. In this calculator, the equalized assessed value (EAV) is represented by multiplying fair market value by 0.3333. The result is then multiplied by the applicable combined local property tax rate (entered as a decimal) to estimate property tax.
Examples
If a property has a fair market value of 300,000, the assessed value used in this model is 300,000 × 0.3333 = approximately 99,990. If the combined local rate is entered as 0.085 (8.5%), the estimated property tax would be 99,990 × 0.085.
Limitations and important notes
Tax rates in Sangamon County vary by tax code and taxing district, including county, township, school, municipal, and special districts. This calculator requires a user-provided combined decimal rate and does not determine the correct tax code automatically. Exemptions such as homestead or senior exemptions are eligibility-based and are not applied in this simplified model. Actual tax bills may differ.
