Board of Review Opens Group 2 for 2023 Appeals

The Cook County Board of Review has opened 2023 property tax appeals for the second group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2023 assessed value is October 17, 2023. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 2:

    • Berwyn
    • Cicero
    • Hanover
    • River Forest
    • Rogers Park

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.

Wheeling Township 2023 Assessment Notices Mailed

2023 property assessment notices were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office on Thursday, August 31, 2023, to Wheeling Township property owners. The window to appeal your 2023 assessed value is now open until the deadline of October 02, 2023. The following cities, towns, and villages are in Wheeling Township: Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Northbrook, Prospect Heights (majority), and Wheeling (majority).

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. Wheeling Township was reassessed in 2022 but even if you appealed last year, you can appeal your assessment again this year. A successful appeal in 2023 may result in two years of savings until Wheeling is reassessed in 2025. 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 in the triennial reassessment cycle.
