Why Reviewing Your 2026 Assessment Matters

We strongly encourage property owners to review their assessment every year, not just during a triennial reassessment. While Rogers Park Township’s next triennial reassessment is scheduled for 2027, homeowners have the legal right to appeal their assessment annually—both with:
• The Cook County Assessor’s Office, and
• The Cook County Board of Review
If your home’s assessed value does not reflect current market conditions or comparable properties in your neighborhood, there’s no reason to wait.
