Legacy Tax & Resolution Services

Legacy Tax & Resolution Services focuses exclusively on helping Chicago area property owners reduce their tax burden through strategic assessment appeals and exemption applications. Our team combines accounting expertise with deep knowledge of Illinois property tax law to deliver results for residential and commercial clients. We've built our reputation on personalized service and creative problem-solving. Unlike large law firms, we take time to understand your specific situation and develop tailored strategies. Our clients appreciate our straightforward approach and realistic assessment of their cases' potential outcomes.

We provide comprehensive property tax reduction services for homeowners and business owners throughout the Chicago area. Our residential services include assessment appeals, homestead exemption applications, senior citizen property tax deferrals, and disabled veterans exemptions. We review your property's assessment against market data and comparable sales to identify overvaluations. For commercial properties, we handle complex valuation disputes involving office buildings, retail centers, industrial facilities, and apartment complexes. Our team prepares detailed income and expense analyses, market studies, and depreciation schedules to support appeals. We're experienced with Board of Review proceedings and PTAB hearings. Beyond appeals, we offer assessment monitoring services and exemption reviews to ensure you're receiving all available property tax benefits. We also provide consultation on property acquisition and disposition strategies to minimize future tax exposure.

We start every engagement with a detailed property analysis and market study to determine if an appeal makes financial sense. If we identify potential savings, we'll explain the process, timeline, and expected costs upfront so you can make an informed decision. Our team gathers all necessary documentation including property records, financial statements, comparable sales data, and any relevant market information. We prepare comprehensive appeal packages that present clear, compelling evidence supporting your position. We represent you throughout the appeal process, from initial filings through hearings and any necessary follow-up. You'll receive regular updates on case progress and be prepared for any testimony or additional information requests that may arise.

We serve property owners throughout Cook County, with particular expertise in Chicago, Evanston, Oak Park, Cicero, and surrounding municipalities. Our knowledge of local assessment practices and market conditions helps us develop effective strategies for each community's unique characteristics. Our team handles appeals before township assessors, the Cook County Board of Review, and the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board. We work with clients in neighboring counties on complex cases requiring specialized expertise.
