2019 Triennial Reassessment Notices Mailed to Evanston Property Owners

2019 triennial reassessment notices were mailed to Evanston Township property owners on Friday, March 15^th. Valuation statistics from the Cook County Assessor’s office for Evanston Township can be found here (when they become available). Homeowners in Evanston have thirty days to appeal their assessment at the Assessor’s office (there is also a second opportunity to appeal later in the year at the Board of Review). The deadline for appealing at the Assessor’s office is Monday, April 15^th.

We recommend homeowners review their assessment annually, especially in a year when their township is reassessed, 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 Evanston property, in comparison to other similar properties, we are 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.

New Trier Township 2020 Assessment Notices Mailed

2020 property assessment notices were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office on Thursday, March 5^th, to New Trier Township property owners. The window to appeal your 2020 assessed value is now open until the deadline of May 1st.

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. New Trier 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 New Trier 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.
