Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas is partnering again with Telemundo Chicago’s consumer unit, Telemundo Responde, to host a special phone bank, “Las Casas Latinas Importan,” on Thursday, February 19. The event will help Hispanic homeowners determine, in their own language, whether they are owed property tax refunds. Homeowners may call (312) 603-5105 between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on February 19 to receive assistance in Spanish. Representatives from the Treasurer’s Office will review property records to determine whether refunds are available. During the phone bank, callers can learn:

Whether they are owed refunds for overpayments made within the past 20 years.

Whether they qualify for refunds tied to unclaimed exemptions from the past four years.

Whether their property has delinquent taxes.

How to enroll in and use the Treasurer’s Office Payment Plan Calculator.
