The property tax system has many moving parts. One of the most critical is the valuation of the property because it's the foundation upon which the rest of the property tax process and the final bill is built.
Township and county assessors perform valuation of property for tax purposes within the parameters dictated by State statutes. 2020 is a reassessment year for the south suburban portion of Cook County, and assessed values have increased substantially on non-residential properties.
The Village believes it's critical for taxpayers to pay attention to the reassessment notices that were issued in September and review both the valuation information and property characteristics. You can check your 2020 assessed value on the Cook County Assessor's Office website.
The deadline to appeal through the Assessor’s Office has passed. However, there is still opportunity to appeal through the Cook County Board of Review. The Board of Review has not opened the window for appeal of the 2020 assessments yet, but when it does the information will be posted on its website. The Board of Review also allows for taxpayers to “pre-file” an appeal before their township is eligible for review and place it in queue for processing when the window is open.
This is a challenging time for small business on so many levels. The Village is here to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
