The Cook County Assessor’s Office, in partnership with members of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, announced its first set of dates for its countywide Listening Tour, which will allow taxpayers to hear directly from Assessor Fritz Kaegi about his plans for the office. Beginning in April, the Assessor’s Listening Tour is part of a commitment to transparency in the administration of the office. In addition to hearing directly from Assessor Kaegi about his work, attendees can ask questions and get a progress report about the new Assessor’s efforts to create more accurate and fair assessments. Audience Q&A will follow. Each stop on the listening tour is co-sponsored by a commissioner of the Cook County Board. To ensure information about the Assessor’s Office is as accessible as possible, language translation services will be available at many of the stops on the tour and will be listed on the flyer. For more information on which languages are available, please send an email to communications@cookcountyassessor.com.
