Will a lower assessment always reduce my property tax bill?

A lower assessment is your most powerful tool for reducing your property tax bill. While your final bill is influenced by tax rates and local levies, a successful reduction in your assessed value ensures that you pay only your fair share of the community's tax burden.

Why a Lower Assessment Matters:

• Reducing Your Taxable Base: Your property tax is calculated by multiplying your "Equalized Assessed Value" by the local tax rate. By lowering the base assessment, you automatically lower the starting point for this calculation.

• Defense Against Rising Rates: Even if local tax rates or levies increase, a lower assessment acts as a shield. It ensures your bill is significantly lower than it would have been at the original, higher valuation.

• Offsetting Multipliers: Cook County uses a "State Equalization Factor" (multiplier) that often inflates values. Lowering your initial assessment with the Cook County Assessor or Board of Review is the only way to minimize the impact of this multiplier.
