Homeowners can learn about the basics of property assessments, how to appeal the assessment and what exemptions are available. Homeowners are encouraged to bring their recent property tax bills and valid forms of identification to receive one-on-one help. Homeowners can print the necessary appeal documents at http://cookcountyassessor.com/PdfForms/Appeal-Forms.aspx and fill-out as much as they can before the event.
