Cook County Property Tax Math Is a Zero-Sum Problem

When you see or hear the words “Cook County property taxes” in the headlines, you can pretty much assume it’s not going to be good news. Unless, perhaps, you are a well-heeled business owner with a team of attorneys scrutinizing your tax bills.

For everyone else, it’s a safe bet that:

1. The county’s budgetary pressures will continue to increase, and
2. Your property tax payments will be increasingly relied upon to close the gaps.

What doesn’t come out of your tax bill will come out of somebody else’s – and vice versa.

The system is prone to errors in assessed property values, but it puts the burden on property owners to be sure they’re not paying more than their fair share. It’s a zero-sum process that leaves those who don’t appeal subsidizing the savings of those who do.

How Can You Be Sure You’re Not Paying More than Your Fair Share of Property Taxes?

You can put your hopes in the law firm that just dumped its solicitation into 10,000 mailboxes promising you results before they’ve ever really run your numbers. You can also try to appeal on your own.
