Proviso Township 2021 Assessment Notices Mailed

The Assessor’s Office has mailed 2021 assessment notices to Proviso property owners. You may appeal your assessment each year during the 30-day window which is now open and will close on November 8th. The following cities, towns, and villages are in Proviso Township: Bellwood, Berkeley, Broadview, Brookfield (northwest 1/2), Elmhurst (portion), Forest Park, Hillside, La Grange Park (majority), Maywood, Melrose Park, North Riverside, Northlake (south 1/4), Oak Brook (parts), Stone Park, Westchester, and Western Springs (north portion).

Cook County reassesses properties triennially through a mass appraisal system. Proviso was last reassessed in 2020 and if you appealed and were successful on your 2020 tax year appeal you will see those savings this summer on your 2nd installment property tax bill (the 1st installment bill you recently received is always 55% of the previous year’s total tax).

Board of Review Opens Group 8 for 2020 Appeals

The Cook County Board of Review has opened 2020 property tax appeals for the eighth group of townships. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2020 assessed value is January 05, 2021. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 8:

  • Bremen
  • Hyde Park
  • Jefferson
  • Proviso
  • Thornton

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 2020 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in July 2021, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption. Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed.

That’s because a processing error left some properties out when the office was applying COVID adjustments to the property tax assessment in those townships, according to a press release. The error does not affect this year’s tax bill because the adjustments will be factored in assessed values used to calculate next year’s property tax bills.
