Assessor Mails 2023 Oak Park Reassessment Notices

Triennial reassessment notices were mailed on Thursday, April 13, 2023, for Oak Park Township property owners. The opportunity to appeal your assessment at the Assessor’s office is now open until Monday, May 15th, 2023.

There are 38 townships in Cook County and they are divided into three districts for the purposes of reassessment within a triennial cycle. Oak Park Township is part of the South Suburban triennial group which is being reassessed in 2023.

We recommend homeowners review their assessment annually, particularly in a triennial reassessment year, 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 Oak Park Township home in comparison to similar properties, we would be 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.

Barrington Township 2023 Assessment Notices Mailed

2023 property assessment notices were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office on Wednesday, April 5th, to Barrington Township property owners. The window to appeal your 2023 assessed value is now open until the deadline of May 5th.

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. Barrington Township was reassessed in 2022 but even if you appealed last year, you can appeal your assessment again this year. A successful appeal in 2023 may result in two years of savings until Barrington is reassessed in 2025. 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 in the triennial reassessment cycle.
