Ogle County Property Records Quick Facts
Ogle County Assessment Office
The Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments is the central office for property records in the county. Tricia Black serves as the assessment officer. Her staff provide technical guidance to the township assessors, process exemption forms, and keep ownership data up to date for all parcels in Ogle County. The office is at 105 S. 5th Street, Suite 215, in Oregon. You can also send mail to PO Box 40, Oregon, IL 61061.
Township assessors do the field work of valuing parcels in Ogle County. Rochelle Township, Oregon Township, Byron Township, and the surrounding rural areas each have their own assessor who visits properties, reviews building permits, and updates records. The Supervisor of Assessments then checks those values to keep things consistent. Under 35 ILCS 200/, all real property in Illinois must be assessed at 33 1/3 percent of fair market value, and that standard applies to every parcel in Ogle County. Farmland uses a soil productivity method rather than market sales. In a county like Ogle, where a large share of the land is agricultural, that method plays a big part in how property records look.
The Ogle County Supervisor of Assessments website lists services, exemption details, and contact information for the office.

Property Tax in Ogle County
Property taxes in Ogle County are paid in arrears. The bill you receive this year covers the prior year's assessed value. Tax bills go out once each year and are usually due in two installments. You can pay by mail, in person at the Ogle County Treasurer's office in Oregon, or through online options when available.
The lien date for all property in Illinois is January 1. That is when the county sets who owns each parcel and what it is worth. Ogle County follows the quadrennial assessment cycle, with a full reassessment every four years and yearly adjustments in between. Township assessors update values and the Supervisor of Assessments reviews them. If you believe your assessment is too high, you have about 30 days from the notice to file an appeal with the Ogle County Board of Review. The appeal is free and you do not need a lawyer. The board reviews your evidence, makes a decision, and that ruling becomes part of your Ogle County property record.
