The boundaries of Palos Township encompass more area than the village with the same name, and the township—not the municipality in a mailing address—sets the assessment calendar. Palos was reassessed on the South Triad cycle for 2026 and is next scheduled for 2029. Its Board of Review window opens annually, including in the years between reassessments.
Evidence to review
- Compare similar-vintage homes before considering newer construction, which may differ in design, materials, and overall utility.
- Review the recorded land area alongside frontage and parcel shape; equal square footage can describe sites with different usability.
- Identify additions and enclosed or converted spaces on both the subject and each sale rather than assuming the original house type remains comparable.
- For condition evidence, preserve the photograph date and pair each image with a brief note identifying the defect and its location.
