PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Joyce Schaefer
DOCKET NO.: 05-00294.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 05-10-29-109-001
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Joyce Schaefer, the appellant, by attorney Robert McQuellon III
of Peoria; and the Bond County Board of Review by State's
Attorney Christopher Bauer.
Based on an agreement of the parties the following appeals were
consolidated for hearing purposes due to the similarity of

Greenville, Central Township, Bond County.

In support of this argument the appellant called John Sharp as a
witness. Mr. Sharp is the President of Property Tax Pro. Mr.
