Cook County Property Tax Appeal Guides
You appeal the assessed value, not the tax bill. You do it township by township, in two filing windows: about six weeks at the Assessor (42 to 47 days in 2026) and about 30 days at the Board of Review. Filing at the Assessor, the Board of Review and PTAB is free. These guides walk through each step, the evidence that works, what happens after you file, and when an attorney is required.
