All real property gets assessed at 33 1/3 percent of fair market value, the statewide standard for counties outside Cook.

Warren County Property Tax Records
Property taxes in Warren County are paid in arrears. The bill you pay this year is based on the prior year's assessed value. The lien date is January 1 under 35 ILCS 200/. That date locks in who owns the parcel and what it is worth for tax purposes. Each bill splits the total among the taxing districts that overlap the property. Schools, the county, road districts, and towns in Warren County all take a piece.
A home in Monmouth will likely have a different total tax rate than a farm parcel in a rural township. The gap comes from the different taxing bodies that cover each area. Understanding how those rates work helps when you are reading your Warren County property records. The assessor is the one who sets the value. The County Treasurer collects the tax. If you want to know what you owe, call the Treasurer. If you want to know why the value changed, the assessment office at 100 W. Broadway in Monmouth is the right place to ask.
Note: Warren County tax bills typically go out in the spring with two installment due dates set later in the year.
