Welcome to the online home of the
Rockford Township Assessor's Office

**NEW** We added the ability to view our database for single-family homesales. INSTRUCTIONS: Search your home by clicking Property Search (enter Pin Number, last name, or street name); then click your Pin Number in the left column; then click "View Neighborhood Sales" at the top of the page. 

**NEW** We added extended commercial and industrial property details.  The new fields are use type, basement, story height, exterior walls, building size, zoning, year built, and land size. 

Each taxpayer deserves the best possible service at our office and over the internet.  I appreciate your comments and suggestions about our service and ways to improve our website. Please let me know what you think by calling or sending me an email.

Ken Crowley
 Respectfully,
