Cook County Board of Review Annual Report
The Cook County Board of Review annual report for 2015 is out and contains some interesting statistics:
- 61.6% of Board of Review property tax appeals were successful: see graphic below and compare with our 90% success rate
- 319,500 appeals were filed
- 86% were filed online (how many of these are leaving money on the table?)
- 2014 tax year marks the fourth time since tax year 1977 that the second installment tax bills have been mailed out on time
- There are 1.8 million property parcels in Cook County and 5.2 million residents
Just in the past year, Rahm Emanuel has increased property taxes by an ulcer-inducing $838 million – and there are still massive budget deficits that need to be plugged sooner than later beyond these increases. What can you do for relief?
