The Cook County Board of Review is open for property valuation appeals for NORTH, SOUTH, WEST Townships from now until January 8, 2019.

Appealing your assessment is an opportunity for residents to ensure Cook County is valuing your property fairly, which in turn affects how much you pay in property taxes.

When you appeal with the Board of Review, the staff will analyze your property’s assessment (set by the Assessor), compare it to like-properties in your area and apply a reduction in value if supported.

There is no cost to appealing your property’s assessment and the appeal will not cause the Board of Review to raise your assessment.

Here are a few helpful reminders and tips on filing an appeal:

The Cook County Board of Review is a quasi-judicial agency responsible for adjudicating assessment appeals for all property in Cook County. Last year the Board reviewed over 400,000 appeals.

The one-day application period for the Chicago Department of Transportation (CDOT)’s annual Shared Cost Sidewalk Program opens Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 12:01am.

The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program is an extremely popular voluntary program in which property owners share the cost of sidewalk repair with the City. Thousands of Chicagoans have been a part of this popular program, taking advantage of the low cost, exceptional value, and ease of participation.

The Shared Cost Sidewalk Program cost per square foot charged to property owners is well below what a private contractor would charge. Senior citizens and persons with disabilities may qualify for a further discounted rate.

Applications are taken on a first-come, first-served basis, and the number of participants will be based on availability of funds. The program typically reaches capacity quickly, so apply early!

Applications will only be accepted through the City’s 311 system by calling 3-1-1 or through the City’s service request website www.cityofchicago.org/311. The property owner’s contact information and the property address are required at the time of request.

For more information, click on the following links for a program overview, FAQ, or visit CDOT’s website.
