I spend the winter in a house that I own, and claim homestead exemptions on in another state. Will I still be able to claim homestead exemptions on my house in Peoria County?

No, you will need to claim homestead exemption on your primary residence.

All homestead exemptions require that the residential property that is occupied by its owner or owners as his or their principal dwelling place, or that is a leasehold interest on which a single family residence is situated, which is occupied as a residence by a person who has an ownership interest therein, legal or equitable or as a lessee, and on which the person is liable for the payment of property taxes.
