All ASSESSMENT NOTICES WILL BE POSTED ONLINE IN 2026

Starting this year, the Supervisor of Assessments will not be mailing assessment notices for properties that are only adjusted by the equalization factor. All notices are still being generated and will be posted on our property tax bill portal, Devnet Wedge.

Notices will still be mailed for revaluations, farmland, and new properties. The McHenry County Board made this change to save taxpayers over $65,000 in postage costs per year. 

The 2026 assessment notices will not begin to be posted until July 7. Publishing is staggered based on when each township completes its assessment roll. Sign up to be alerted when your township is published.

Below you will find: a video and instructions on accessing your notice, the signup for alerts, and additional resources.

Note: Tax Bills and Assessment Notices are two different documents. The change in mailing status only applies to the 2026 assessment notice and future assessment notices.

Important Information and Dates

The 2025 tax bills (paid in 2026) were mailed in early May 2026. Those bills were extended (calculated) with the final 2025 assessments. To view the 2025 Tax information and bills, the full assessment information, and Assessment Notices visit mchenryil.devnetwedge.com. 

Note: You can no longer file a complaint or appeal regarding the 2025 assessment. If appropriate, you may consider filing for the 2026 assessment—payable in 2027—once the 2026 assessments are published.

The 2026 Assessment Notices will replace the 2025 Assessment Notices when they are available for your review. Publishing dates and complaint filing deadlines will be available here: Township Publishing and Filing Dates. Signup to receive alerts above.
