The Cook County Assessor’s Office has mailed assessment notices for Evanston Township. The Assessor’s Office offers a 30 day window to appeal your assessment each year. The deadline to file a 2017 property tax appeal for properties located in Evanston Township is March 27, 2017.

Cook County’s 38 townships are divided into three districts: city, north suburbs and south suburbs. Evanston Township is located in the north suburbs district and the next scheduled triennial reassessment year is 2019. That said, appealing your assessment can be done in every tax year, including non-reassessment years. Since the market is constantly changing we believe reviewing your assessment annually, to determine whether or not an appeal makes sense, is in your best interest.

Evanston Township assessment notices for tax year 2018 were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s Office on Thursday, February 22^nd. The 30 day window for property owners to appeal their assessment is now open until the deadline of Monday, March 26^th.

Regardless of when your township was last reassessed by the Assessor’s Office (Evanston was last reassessed in 2016) you may file an appeal each year. In fact, it is our opinion that you should review, if not appeal, your assessment every year due to regular changes in the housing market (others have also made this recommendation).

2020 property assessment notices were mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office on Wednesday, February 19^th, to Evanston 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. Evanston 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 Evanston 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.
