Hodge Group

Hodge Group provides property tax consulting services throughout Chicago and Cook County. Our team handles both residential and commercial property tax appeals, focusing on identifying overassessments and securing meaningful tax reductions for property owners. We understand the financial impact of property taxes on homeowners and businesses alike. With years of experience in Chicago's property tax landscape, we've developed efficient processes for evaluating assessments and presenting compelling appeals. Our approach combines market knowledge with detailed analysis of assessment procedures. We work with clients ranging from individual homeowners to commercial property investors, tailoring our services to meet diverse needs and property types.

Our property tax services encompass comprehensive assessment reviews for residential properties including single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit buildings. We analyze your property's assessed value against current market conditions and comparable sales data to identify potential overassessments. For commercial properties, we provide detailed valuation analysis covering office buildings, retail spaces, industrial facilities, and investment properties. Our commercial services include income approach analysis, expense review, and market comparison studies. We also handle property tax protest filing, hearing representation, and ongoing assessment monitoring. Special services include challenging property classifications, disputing square footage or other property characteristics, and addressing assessment inequities. Each case receives thorough documentation and professional presentation to maximize appeal success rates.

We begin with an initial consultation to review your property tax assessment and determine appeal potential. During this review, we examine your property's assessed value, recent market data, and any factors that might support a reduction. If we identify grounds for an appeal, we'll explain the process and timeline. Once engaged, we gather supporting documentation including comparable sales data, property information, and market analysis. We prepare and submit all required paperwork within established deadlines and represent you throughout the appeal process. We maintain regular communication about case progress and handle all interactions with assessment offices and hearing officers.

We serve Chicago and surrounding Cook County communities with focus on neighborhoods throughout the city including Lincoln Park, River North, Logan Square, and Wicker Park. Our service area extends to nearby suburbs and we're familiar with assessment practices across different Cook County townships. We handle cases in various municipal jurisdictions and maintain knowledge of local assessment trends and procedures.
