ASKED QUESTIONS
What
can I do if I think my assessment is unfair?
If
your property is outside Cook County, you can file a complaint with
that County’s Board of Review.
If you are dissatisfied with the decision of the board of review,
you may appeal to the State Property Tax
Appeal Board or pay under protest and take your complaint to the
courts. However, court proceedings are generally more restrictive. A
favorable court ruling is unlikely unless you have exhausted the
administrative appeal process
Note:
If you think your assessment is unfair it is important to file a
complaint before you receive your bill. The "notice of
assessment change" will explain the time period for filing a
complaint.
