The Tax Appeal Process

Our team can guide you through the tax appeal process, which can include an appeal of your property assessment based on Lack of Uniformity, Overvaluation, Property Description Errors and/or changes to your property’s condition. These appeals can be made with County Assessors, Boards of Review and at the Property Tax Appeal Board in Illinois.  READ MORE about what our services can include.

Exemptions Can Save You Money

Are you aware that many counties have at least five exemptions and Cook County has eight? If you live in your home or recently improved it; are a senior citizen or long-time resident; are a veteran or disabled person — one of our case analysts can help you make sure your exemptions are accurate.  If exemptions are not accurate, you may be eligible for appeals or refunds as far as three years back – sometimes totaling hundreds of dollars.
