Find the PIN, Read the Assessment, and Finish the Tax Task
Search Peoria County property assessments by parcel number, owner name or street address, then use the record to understand land and building values, township, equalized assessed value, exemptions, taxing districts, sales and current real estate taxes.
The useful part starts after the result opens. This guide shows what each field means, why Illinois assessment year and tax-payable year differ, how to find comparable properties, fix a failed search, check the September 2026 tax deadline, review exemptions, appeal a 2026 assessment and verify deeds through recorded land records.
Quick answer: use Peoria County Property Tax Inquiry
Peoria County’s official property system is the DEVNET wEdge Property Tax Inquiry. The strongest search is the parcel number or PIN, which the portal accepts with or without dashes. If you do not know the PIN, use the owner’s last name as it appears on the tax bill or enter the house number and main street name without a directional or street suffix.
Peoria County property facts worth knowing
What to do after opening the official portal
Choose the property task you actually need
Peoria County divides valuation, tax collection, tax-rate calculations, appeals and recorded documents among different offices. Jump directly to the problem you are trying to solve.
Township Assessor, Supervisor, Clerk, Treasurer or Board of Review?
Peoria County does not use a single “county auditor property assessment” office for every tax-cycle task. Initial property valuation is primarily a township-assessor responsibility. The Supervisor of Assessments coordinates the county assessment system, while separate offices calculate tax rates, collect taxes and hear formal complaints.

Search Peoria County property by PIN, owner or address
The official DEVNET system gives users more search flexibility than a basic property directory: parcel, owner and address searches are supplemented by sale-price/date filters, township and tax-district filters, property class, subdivision and tax-year ranges.
- Copy the parcel number from the tax bill or assessment notice.
- Enter it with or without dashes.
- Run the search.
- Confirm the returned site address and township.
- Use the last name as it appears on the tax bill.
- Begin with less information.
- Try a trust or entity name separately.
- Use the former owner after a recent transfer if necessary.
- Enter the house number.
- Enter only the main street name.
- Leave out N/S/E/W initially.
- Leave out Street, Road, Avenue, Drive and similar suffixes.
Use Sales Criteria when researching transactions
The portal provides minimum and maximum sale-price fields. Use a sensible range around the subject property’s expected market value rather than an extremely broad countywide search.
Add minimum and maximum sale dates when you need recent market evidence. For an assessment argument, keep the valuation date and the Board’s evidence rules in mind.

33⅓% is the assessment level—not your tax rate
Most non-farm/non-coal real property: one-third of fair market value
Peoria County’s assessment notices state that property other than farmland and coal is required to be assessed at 33⅓% of fair market value.
That does not mean the owner pays 33⅓% in property taxes. The assessed value moves through equalization, exemptions and local tax rates before the tax bill is produced.

Senior Homestead |
$5,000 annual EAV reduction |

Senior Citizen Tax Deferral |
Defers qualifying taxes as a loan |
Separate Treasurer program; 3% interest and statutory eligibility rules. This is not a homestead exemption. |
Senior Freeze: what “freeze” actually means
The program is designed to prevent the qualifying taxable assessment from rising solely because neighborhood property values increase above the established base.
Tax rates can change. Peoria County also specifically notes that the exemption does not freeze separate non-tax charges such as a City of Peoria garbage fee.
2026 Senior Freeze first-time preparation
Appeal the assessment—not the current tax bill
There is no single Peoria County appeal deadline
The filing window begins June 1 and closes 30 days after the Supervisor of Assessments publishes the current-year assessment changes for the specific township. Check your township first, then use the county’s 2026 publication schedule.

Why two nearby Peoria County properties can have different tax bills
A property’s tax bill is not determined by assessment alone. The County Clerk applies the rates associated with the parcel’s taxing district after taxing bodies establish their levies.
Land, improvements, property characteristics and exemptions can produce different taxable EAVs.
Municipality, school, fire, library, park and other taxing-body combinations can change across boundaries.
Tax levies, valuations and rates can change even if the parcel itself did not physically change.
How to investigate a rate difference
Update the tax mailing address before a missed bill becomes a penalty problem
Peoria County’s live property-tax portal reminds taxpayers to keep their current address on file with the Supervisor of Assessments. Failure to receive a real estate tax bill—or receiving it late—does not remove penalties when taxes are not paid by their due dates.
Use the separate mobile-home search when real-estate PIN search is wrong
The DEVNET portal provides a separate mobile-home search by mobile-home number, owner name or site address. It is not the same workflow as a conventional real-estate parcel.
Enter the identifier with or without dashes when known.
Use the owner name as shown on the mobile-home tax bill.
Use house number, street name and city when the identifier is unknown.
After tax sale, use redemption—not the normal current-tax payment
Once delinquent real estate taxes have been sold, the County Clerk becomes responsible for receiving redemption payments. The Treasurer specifically warns taxpayers not to use the current electronic-payment method to try to pay taxes that have already been sold.

Cook County Property SearchPeoria County tax assessment search FAQs
How do I search Peoria County property assessments?
Use the official Peoria County DEVNET Property Tax Inquiry. The best search is the parcel number or PIN with or without dashes. If you do not know it, search the owner name as shown on the tax bill or enter the house number and main street name without a directional or street suffix.
Can I search Peoria County property by owner name or address?
Yes. For owner searches, begin with the last name as it appears on the tax bill. For address searches, start with the house number and street name only. Peoria County specifically advises that entering less information can produce better results when an exact search returns no records.
What does 33⅓% mean on a Peoria County assessment?
Peoria County assessment notices state that most property other than farmland and coal is assessed at one-third of fair market value. That is an assessment level, not a 33⅓% tax rate. Equalization, exemptions and the parcel’s local tax rate are applied later in the tax cycle.
Why does my Peoria County property search say “No records found”?
Too many exact fields can eliminate the correct result. Try the PIN with or without dashes, owner surname only, or the house number plus main street word without N/S/E/W or Street, Road, Avenue and similar suffixes. For a recent transfer, also try the previous owner.
When are Peoria County property taxes due in 2026?
For 2025 real estate taxes payable in 2026, the first installment was due June 9, 2026 and the second installment is due September 9, 2026. Peoria County states there is no grace period and late penalties are calculated at 1.5% per month or part of a month.
Will Peoria County send a second tax bill before the September installment?
No. Peoria County states that taxpayers do not receive a second bill when the second installment becomes due. Keep the original bill or check the live parcel record and payment system for the current amount.
How do I appeal a Peoria County property assessment?
First confirm the township and discuss the assessment with the township assessor. If a formal complaint is still needed, use the correct 2026 Board of Review packet. Filing begins June 1 and closes 30 days after the Supervisor of Assessments publishes current-year changes for the property’s township. The informal discussion does not extend that deadline.
What is the Peoria County Senior Freeze income limit for 2026?
Current Peoria County 2026 forms state that the Senior Assessment Freeze household-income ceiling is $75,000 for tax year 2026, payable in 2027. The threshold rises to $77,000 for 2027 and $79,000 for 2028 and later. Other age, occupancy and annual-filing requirements also apply.
Are Peoria County GIS parcel lines legal boundaries?
No. The Assessment Front Desk GIS is useful for locating property, reviewing characteristics and finding comparable sales or assessments, but mapped parcel lines should not replace a recorded deed, plat or professional boundary survey.
Where do I find Peoria County deeds, mortgages and old land records?
Use Peoria County Clerk EagleWeb. Records from 1987 through today can be searched using all indexed fields. Documents from 1819 through 1986 are searchable by document number or Book/Page, with older indexes available through the Historical Index menu. Public users can search without document images for free.
