Property Tax Appeals

In some cases, property owners find themselves paying higher than necessary property taxes. Tax assessments inaccurate due to changes in the property’s fair market value or for other reasons. Sometimes there are errors in assessment records that can affect a property’s value, as well. Illinois law governs real estate tax assessments, and each county creates its own rules and procedures for filing property tax appeals. Because the appeals process is different in each county and there are strict filing deadlines, it is very important to thoroughly understand the rules of the specific county in which your property is located. Property tax appeals require a great amount of attention to detail and a commitment to finding the best possible information about a specific property and other similar properties. It is best to seek the expertise of an experienced attorney before starting a property tax appeal in order to save you the most time, frustration, and money possible.
