cook county board of review

The Cook County Board of Review provides an independent review of property assessments and serves as the second level of appeal in the county’s property tax assessment process. The appeal process is free, and property owners in all 38 Cook County townships will have an opportunity to file during the 2026 appeal season. #cookcounty #tax #appeals

Cardenas presented the recommendations to the Cook County Board of Commissioners this week, emphasizing the county’s responsibility to support families who lost loved ones in the line of duty. #cookcounty #taxrelief

“Despite the record number of appeals we received this year, we will continue to deliver timely, transparent and accurate decisions throughout the 2025 appeal session.” #tax #appeals #report

Commissioner Steele encouraged residents to take advantage of the additional time and in-person support. #appeals #assistance #tax

Board members said the delays spurred their decision to expand the appeal period so more taxpayers could seek relief. Appeals filed during this reopened session will affect 2026 tax bills. #appeals #propertytax

Officials warn that the delays could lead to continued strain on county employees and may affect next year’s tax cycle if not addressed. #tax #delays

This year’s reassessment saw the total value of residential properties in the township climb more than 30% over 2024. Steele said the session aims to make the appeals process easier to navigate. #propertytaxes

"The goal for our dashboard is to continue making the results of our work more accessible to the public,” said Cook County Board of Review Commissioner George Cardenas.

The unprecedented volume of 273,907 property tax appeals filed with CCBOR for tax year 2024 has presented the biggest challenge in the agency’s history—a challenge it continues to meet, as more than half the appeals have already been finalized. #tax

Knowing this, we encourage you to appeal your property’s assessed value to the Board of Review... #boardofreview
