Valuation reports for every taxing district are prepared in January of each year. Click Here For Current Year's Valuation Report. Valuation reports are sent to all cities, schools, Ag. Extension, etc. for use in the preparation of budgets. In Grundy County, five cities, as well as the County, have established TIF (tax increment financing) districts which consist of 31 separate taxing districts administered by our office. The maintenance work for these TIF parcels within each project continues throughout the life of the TIF project which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 years, or indefinitely.
