The Cook County Assessor uses an automated "mass appraisal" system that can ignore property-specific factors and produce inflated assessments. Errors commonly involve wrong comparables, incorrect square footage/class/land-use data, overvaluation, or unaccounted local market shifts. These can be challenged in an appeal.
