Property owners in Cicero Township have until Tuesday, August 19th to appeal their taxable values to the Board of Review. Submitting an appeal with the Board of Review is a free service and can potentially lower taxpayers’ property tax bills. Last year, 58 percent of property owners who filed directly with the Board of Review had their property tax bills reduced from what they would have been. In 2023, the last time that Cicero Township was reassessed, residential homeowners saw their assessments increase by 15 percent. In Cook County, property taxpayers can appeal every year, even when they do not receive new values. “Far too many homeowners in Cook County communities saw their property tax bills increase in as a result of the 2023 reassessment,” said Commissioner Cardenas.” “With what can feel like a complex system, my office is here to help if you are seeking property tax relief.” Homeowners can file an appeal online in just a few minutes at appeals.cookcountyboardofreview.com. Appeals can also be submitted in-person with Board of Review staff before the August 19th deadline at the Cook County Board of Review office, located at 118 N Clark St #601, Chicago, IL 60602 between 9a.m., to 5p.m., on weekdays.
