Cabonargi and 14th Ward Ald. Edward M. Burke are co-sponsoring two workshops for the public entitled “How to Appeal Your Property Tax Assessment.”

Attendees will learn how to file an appeal and how an appeal is granted. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

The first event will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, November 9 at St. Jane de Chantal School, 5201 S. McVicker.

The second workshop will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, November 10 at Solorio Academy High School, 5400 S. St. Louis.

Alderman Edward M. Burke

Homeowners are asked to bring the 2nd installment of their property tax bill or their property index number (PIN).

 “After a taxpayer files the one-page complaint, the Board will analyze comparable properties to determine if the property is assessed at too high a value,” Commissioner Cabonargi explained. “Taxpayers may also present an appraisal, comparable properties, or any other evidence showing the fair market value of their property.”

There is no fee to appeal to the Board of Review.

Those taxpayers unable to attend this outreach event are urged to file online at CookCountyBoardOfReview.com

For more information, contact Cabonargi’s office at (312) 603-5560 or Burke’s ward office at (773) 471-1414.
