Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios announced that reassessment notices were mailed to close to 144,000 single family and 4,000 condominium homeowners in Lake Township. Each year, the Cook County Assessor’s Office reassesses one-third of the nearly 1.8 million parcels of property located in Cook County. This year, the Assessor’s Office is reassessing properties located in the City of Chicago.

Reassessment notices contain proposed values that will be reflected on second-installment tax bills, which will be due in the summer of 2016. The time to file appeals on these proposed assessments is now, however, when the reassessment notices are received. The deadline date for appeals for Lake Township is June 12, 2015. Assessor Berrios stressed that homeowners do not need an attorney to file an appeal. Residential taxpayers may also file an appeal online and the Assessor’s Web site allows them to search for comparables and add those comparables to their online appeals. The Assessor’s Web site is located at (www.cookcountyassessor.com).
