Palos Township—nestled in southwest Cook County, Illinois—is home to diverse neighborhoods, from quiet residential streets to bustling commercial corridors. As part of the broader Cook County property assessment process, every parcel in Palos Township receives a new valuation each year. In 2025, the Assessor’s office mailed updated property assessment notices on April 23, placing the onus on homeowners to review and, if necessary, file a Cook County property assessment appeal by the June 2 deadline.

Assessment Highlights
Analysis of the Palos Township property values reveals that certain property classes in Palos Township were hit with significant assessment increases—potentially pushing many owners into higher tax brackets.
•	Special Residential Improvements saw an average increase of 18.49%, far outpacing the township average.
•	Greater than One-Story Dwellings (any age, >1,800 SFLA) rose by 3.07% on average.
•	Greater than One-Story Dwellings (less than 63 years, >1,800 SFLA) increased by 3.00%.
These percentage changes underscore how even modest-seeming hikes can translate into substantial additional tax burdens. If your property falls into one of these classes—or another category that increased—you could be over-assessed and entitled to a reduction.
Urgency to Appeal
Under Cook County code, all appeals for the 2025 assessments must be filed by June 2, 2025. Missing this deadline means waiving your right to contest an over-assessment until next year. Filing early not only ensures your appeal is considered but also allows time to gather supporting evidence—such as recent comparable sales data or appraisal reports—that strengthens your case. Given the significant increases in key property classes, delaying your Palos Township tax appeal could cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually.
