Board of Review Opens Group 4 for 2019 Appeals

Listening Tour A Chance to Question Cook County AssessorThe Cook County Board of Review has opened 2019 property tax appeals for the fourth group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2019 assessed value is October 8th. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 4:

  • Calumet
  • Elk Grove
  • Lake View

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 2019 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in July 2020, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption. Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed.
