The action follows explanations from County Clerk Rachel Parker and County Treasurer Brandon Martin about how trustee‑owned parcels and the upcoming tax sale are handled. Treasurer Brandon Martin told the board: “We are through the second installment collection. We are at 94 percent paid, so we only have 6% left. Hopefully, we get that narrowed down, hopefully, into just a 1 or 2% before we have to go to the sale, which is November 10.”

County Clerk Rachel Parker explained that the monthly resolution list the board approves is generated by the county trustee, Joseph Meyers, and contains properties that did not sell at the tax sale and which the trustee subsequently owns. Parker said the trustee’s office works to notify owners and to help homeowners reclaim properties before they move to surplus auction.

Martin described the practical steps and timelines for the sale process: the county mails certified notices (he said the county budgets for roughly 2,500 certified mailers to owners), winners are notified by the trustee, and buyers must register and submit parcel selections via USB drive; the auction selection process is automated to select the lowest interest rate and, when ties occur, a computer‑generated tie‑breaker is used. Martin also said owners receive certified notice and then have a short additional period to make payment; he cited a certification step around Nov. 20 followed by roughly two more weeks for payment to be made.

The board also directed staff to hold a special committee meeting on the day of the next board meeting to consider two treasurer actions: (1) assignment of tax sale certificates and (2) a budget transfer moving funds into personnel lines so the treasurer can hire temporary staff at year‑end to support auction work. County staff said they will prepare and circulate a packet for that special committee meeting.

The resolution forwarding the 23 delinquent items passed unanimously.","The county board unanimously approved a resolution forwarding 23 delinquent properties for further action and heard treasurer and clerk briefings on the tax sale and trustee‑owned properties that may go to auction or surplus sale.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5977670,"Peoria County approves agreement to handle Limestone Township assessments beginning Jan. 2026",455,1112000,1567000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5817449-6edb72dea7020bf81ead44b43ca7ee77&start=1112&end=1567","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5817449-6edb72dea7020bf81ead44b43ca7ee77/thumbnail_1112000.jpg","/articles/5977670/Peoria-County/Illinois/Peoria-County-approves-agreement-to-handle-Limestone-Township-assessments-beginning-Jan-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5977670-525bc0958f0f9b994c0b249e24d4661a/orig.mp4?Expires=1775881511&Signature=G9oJy5NxV2oakATTIFze1C0s7hdbyhZ2zhBSq1vYT71nsWTB7UtUTEm8VTFw~HmRsJMUSKqtvyrezroDfMn8Pnhf~NbcL8dHxy~DHsbIiHDld7OriO~JkCLB65t~q~VpwlnAM4q3bcYWLYZrt0R9sFtdZLT19fL7hsD~tq9hfh0Ovhh~1u5wGzNsJTJkA2FZno~9z0J2h87Tl-D7WFTjOkTurhnSB8UfYGLdkIaU2fu8w-ybDPK3AEGvrS-7lA79gIQXqfiBzPsLhYT1Yox4aGeBxvUhTn~Kdgg6PuHhlNh8pB0q0lNBB4XBqexN6A3p64ziVom9I6IHl-s5Rjqpwg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Peoria County Board unanimously approved an intergovernmental agreement on Sept. 22, 2025, to have the county Supervisor of Assessments assume assessment duties for Limestone Township beginning Jan. 1, 2026. The move is intended to maintain continuity after the township’s elected assessor declined to run for re-election.

The agreement matters because Limestone is the county’s second‑largest township and contains substantial commercial property; the county and township said the arrangement will provide continuity ahead of the 2027 quadrennial reassessment. Supervisor of Assessments Chad Jones described the plan as a temporary, collaborative measure to “get the ball rolling earlier in the year” and to allow planning time for both the township and county.

Jones said the county will hire a part‑time certified Illinois assessing officer to perform assessments for Limestone. That person is expected to work about six to eight hours per week, hold scheduled weekly office hours in the township office for residents, and be either county‑ or township‑based as operational needs dictate. An existing township employee who helps the current assessor will remain employed by the township and continue handling day‑to‑day tasks such as exemption paperwork.

Jones said the arrangement is expected to run at least two years (covering 2026–27) with the option to extend into 2028–29 if needed. He told the board that Limestone Township will cover the part‑time assessor’s wages, travel expenses and any one‑time equipment needs such as a laptop. “Limestone Township has had an elected township assessor, and she decided not to run. So effective 01/01/2026, they will not have a township assessor,” Jones said on the record.

Board members described the county and township as having collaborated on the draft agreement and thanked the state’s attorney’s office for preparing the final contract. The board voted and the resolution passed unanimously.

The county said the goal is for Limestone to return to having its own elected assessor in future election cycles; the county emphasized the arrangement is intended to improve the township’s assessment records and provide a smoother transition for the next assessor.

For now, residents who need assessor assistance will be able to visit the township office during posted hours or contact the county office for specific questions about Limestone assessments.","The Peoria County Board unanimously approved an intergovernmental agreement to have the county supervisor of assessments assume Limestone Township assessment duties starting Jan. 1, 2026, with a part‑time certified assessor stationed weekly in the township office and costs covered by the township.","actionData","errors"]
