If You Win an Appeal: Will Your Tax Bill Drop and Will You Get a Refund?

Will a successful appeal lower my tax bill? Will I receive a refund?

  • A lower assessment may reduce your tax bill, but results are not guaranteed.

  • Tax bills also depend on exemptions, tax rates, and local levies.

  • If you overpaid, refunds are issued by the Cook County Treasurer, not the Board of Review.
