Appeal Your Property Taxes

Appeal Your Property Taxes before June 27th

by

Terry Kelly, Assessor, Palatine Township

Palatine Township residents can now file an appeal to the assessed valuation of their homes with the Cook County Assessor.  The appeal period is open until June 27th.  This appeal period is for the 2014 year with any reduction showing on the second half tax bill that will be mailed out in the fall of 2015. 

A reduction in the assessed value of your property can help reduce your property taxes.  The Palatine Township Assessor’s Office can help residents file their appeals.  Typically appeals are filed using comparable properties.  The Palatine Township Assessor Office has a program that will list comparable properties and their values.  This data can be used to file an appeal.

Residents should also note that if they have had a recent appraisal done to their property, by a certified appraiser that too can be used as the basis for their appeal. 

Palatine Township is located at 721 S. Quentin Road, across the street from Fremd High School.  The Township is open Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4pm.  The Assessor’s Office is also open on Saturday from 8:30am to Noon.  No appointment is necessary.  Residents can call the Assessor’s Office at 847-358-6164 with any questions.  When you stop in be sure and give us your e-mail address so we can add you to our official e-mail notification mailing list.

The Palatine Township Assessor’s Office looks forward to helping residents reduce their property taxes.
