Board of Review Opens Group 3 for 2023 Appeals

The Cook County Board of Review has opened 2023 property tax appeals for the third group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2023 assessed value is November 03, 2023. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 3:

  • Evanston
  • Lemont
  • New Trier
  • Orland
  • Schaumburg

Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed. If you missed your appeal opportunity at the Assessor’s office earlier in the year, or if you did appeal and weren’t satisfied with the result, you have a second opportunity to appeal at the Board of Review. Appealing your home’s 2023 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in the fall of 2024, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption.

Proviso Township 2023 Triennial Reassessments Mailed

2023 Triennial reassessment notices were mailed to Proviso Township homeowners on Friday, September 29, 2023. Homeowners in Proviso Township have 31 days to appeal their assessment at the Assessor’s office (there will be a second opportunity to appeal later in the year at the Board of Review, whether you appeal at the Assessor’s office or not). The deadline for appealing at the Assessor’s office is October 30, 2023.

We recommend homeowners review their assessment annually, particularly in a triennial reassessment year, to ensure they do not pay more than their fair share in property taxes. Successfully appealing in a reassessment year may provide 3 years of savings on future property tax bills. If you would like a free analysis of your Proviso Township home compared to similar properties, we would be happy to conduct a “no obligation” analysis and provide you with a free estimate of how much we believe we could help you save with an appeal.
