Palatine Township 2020 Assessment Notices Mailed

tax2020 property assessment notices were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office on Tuesday, May 5th 2020, to Palatine Township property owners. The window to appeal your 2020 assessed value is now open until the deadline of June 10th.

We recommend property owners review their assessments annually and appeal whenever there is a strong evidence based argument that your home may not be assessed fairly. Palatine Township was reassessed in 2019 but even if you appealed last year you may appeal your assessment again this year. A successful appeal in 2020 may result in two years of savings, until Palatine is reassessed in 2022. The best way to ensure you never pay more than your fair share in property taxes is to review your assessment every year and appeal whenever you have a strong basis for an appeal argument, no matter where your township is at in the triennial reassessment cycle.
