DEADLINE ADJUSTMENTS

The Cook County Assessor’s Office recently adjusted its deadlines to file property tax appeals due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.  All Townships that have already received their 2020 Assessment Notices from the Cook County Assessor’s Office, will be given until May 1, 2020 to file their assessment appeal with the Cook County Assessor’s Office.  

The following Townships are due on May 1, 2020 to file assessment appeals with the Assessor’s Office:

  • Barrington
  • Evanston
  • New Trier
  • Norwood Park
  • Oak Park
  • Palos
  • River Forest
  • Riverside
  • Rogers Park

For all other Townships, 2020 Assessment Notices will be mailed on a rolling basis, so it is important to make sure you keep a look out for the assessment notice to arrive in the mail.  The deadline to file at the Assessor’s Office is 40 days from the 2020 assessment published date.  If you miss the opportunity to file at the Assessor’s Office, an opportunity to file an appeal at the Board of Review will still be available later in the year.

ASSESSMENT VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS

According to the Cook County Assessor’s website, South Suburban 2020 reassessments will be adjusted to reflect the estimated effects of the Covid-19 outbreak on property values.  Additionally, North Suburban and Chicago properties will receive adjusted assessed values later in the year after the appeals have been processed.  The adjustments to the property values will be reflected on second installment tax bills payable in 2021.  It is still not clear on how much the adjustments the Assessor will grant to properties will be, but it is good news that some relief will be provided to Cook County residents to reflect the current market conditions.
