Rotman and Rotman Ltd

Rotman and Rotman Ltd has served North Shore property owners for over three decades, building a reputation for thorough, results-driven property tax representation. Our firm's comprehensive understanding of Illinois property tax law, combined with extensive experience in local assessment practices, consistently delivers meaningful savings for clients. We handle everything from routine residential appeals to complex commercial valuation disputes. Our approach emphasizes detailed preparation and strategic advocacy. We don't take cookie-cutter approaches to appeals; instead, we analyze each property's unique characteristics and market position to build the strongest possible case. Whether you're a homeowner dealing with an unexpected assessment increase or a business owner facing substantial commercial property taxes, we provide the expertise and personal attention necessary to achieve optimal results.

Our property tax practice encompasses all aspects of assessment appeals and tax reduction strategies. For residential clients, we provide complete appeal services including property evaluations, market analysis, and representation before local assessors and review boards. We excel at identifying overlooked factors that reduce property values, such as structural issues, location problems, or market condition changes that assessors haven't properly considered. Commercial property tax appeals represent a significant portion of our practice. We conduct detailed income and expense analysis, prepare market studies, and coordinate with qualified appraisers when necessary. Our team handles everything from small office buildings to large retail centers and industrial properties. We also specialize in tax exemption applications and compliance, helping qualifying organizations and individuals secure all available tax benefits. Our litigation experience allows us to pursue complex cases through the Property Tax Appeal Board when standard appeals don't achieve adequate results.

We begin each engagement with a comprehensive consultation to understand your property and assessment concerns. Our team reviews your current assessment, analyzes recent market data, and explains the appeal process and potential outcomes. Once retained, we conduct detailed property research, including on-site inspections when beneficial and thorough market analysis. We prepare and file all necessary appeals, starting with the local assessor and advancing through the board of review process as needed. You'll receive regular updates on case progress and don't need to attend hearings unless specifically requested. We handle all deadlines, paperwork, and negotiations, allowing you to focus on your other responsibilities while we work to reduce your tax burden.

We primarily serve Cook County's North Shore communities including Glenview, Northbrook, Highland Park, Winnetka, and surrounding areas. Our familiarity with local assessment practices, market conditions, and review board procedures provides distinct advantages for our clients. We also handle select cases throughout Cook County and in nearby Lake County when our expertise can provide meaningful value to property owners.
