Assessor appeal policy: file during your township's open window; there's no filing fee at the Assessor level; appeals need supporting evidence and can be filed online at cookcountyassessor.com. If denied, appeal to the Board of Review (cookcountyboardofreview.com). Filers include owners, attorneys, and authorized reps. Common grounds: overvaluation, incorrect characteristics, lack of uniformity.
