Our residential services include deadline monitoring, comparable sales analysis, and full representation before county boards and state review panels. Our commercial practice covers office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, hotels, and specialized properties. We provide income approach analysis, cost approach challenges, and economic obsolescence arguments for properties affected by market conditions. Additional services include assessment consulting for property acquisitions, tax planning for developments, and portfolio reviews for institutional property owners. We also offer proactive monitoring services to identify assessment problems before they become expensive tax bills.

What to Expect

We begin with a detailed property assessment review, analyzing your current valuation against market data and assessment standards. Our team prepares comprehensive appeal documentation including market studies, property condition analyses, and legal arguments supporting your case. We file appeals within Illinois deadlines and represent you at all hearings before the Cook County Board of Review and Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board if necessary. Throughout the process, we provide regular updates and handle all communication with government officials, requiring minimal time investment from you.

Service Area

We serve property owners throughout Cook County and surrounding counties including DuPage, Lake, Will, and Kane counties. Our primary focus is the Chicago metropolitan area where we maintain extensive market knowledge and established relationships with local assessment officials. We handle appeals in all Cook County townships and have particular expertise in Chicago's complex assessment districts and suburban township practices.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Cook County property tax appeals work?
Appeals go through the Cook County Board of Review first, then potentially the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board. We handle both levels and all required paperwork and deadlines.
What's the deadline for filing property tax appeals in Cook County?
Generally 30 days from receiving assessment notices, but deadlines vary by township and can be as early as late June. We track these carefully for all our clients.
How much can I save with a successful property tax appeal?
Savings vary widely based on the property and assessment errors found. We've achieved reductions from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual tax savings.
Should I appeal if my property value has actually increased?
Yes, if your assessment exceeds fair market value or contains errors. Even appreciating properties can be over-assessed relative to actual market conditions.
Can appealing my assessment result in a higher tax bill?
While theoretically possible, increases from appeals are extremely rare in practice. Illinois law and county practices generally protect against punitive assessment increases.
Do I need professional help or can I appeal myself?
While self-representation is allowed, professional expertise significantly improves success rates given the complexity of Cook County's assessment system and appeal procedures.
How long does the appeals process take?
Most cases are resolved within 8-15 months, though complex appeals or those requiring state-level review can take longer. We work to expedite resolution whenever possible.
What happens if I don't agree with the Board of Review decision?
You can appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board within 30 days. We handle this second level of appeal when warranted by potential savings.
