Lake View Township Appeal Results Overview

This report summarizes how often property owners in Lake View Township saw their assessed values reduced after filing a Cook County property tax appeal. Think of it as a scoreboard for appeal outcomes: how many appeals were filed, how many won a reduction, and which property types tended to do better or worse.

Cookcountytaxappeal.com reviews these trends every year to help Cook County property owners understand what the numbers actually mean and where an appeal is most likely to be worth the effort.

Lake View Township Overall Appeal Success Rate

Out of 14,313 appeals, 1,599 were marked “Change.” That means the assessed value was reduced, and we count that as a successful appeal.

What “successful” means here:

• Successful = “Change” (your assessed value went down)

• Not successful = “No Change” (your assessed value stayed the same)

In Lake View Township, the overall success rate was 11.2%. That number does not mean an appeal is not worth filing. It means outcomes depend heavily on the details, like your property’s characteristics, the accuracy of the assessor’s record, and the strength of your evidence (for example, comparable sales, often called “comps”). For owners who want a clearer read on whether their assessment looks high, Cook County Tax Appeals is a practical resource for reviewing the situation before deadlines pass.

Lake View Township Appeal Success Rate by Property Class

Appeal results were not the same across property classes. In Cook County, property classes broadly represent property types, such as:

• Class 2 = Residential (homes, condos, and other residential properties)

• Class 3 = Apartment buildings (typically 6+ units)

• Class 5 = Commercial and industrial properties

In the chart, you will see success rates by class code for the most common classes in Lake View Township.

Notable trends in Lake View Township (2025):

• Class 2-99 had the most appeals (by far) but a very low success rate (about 1.8%). That usually signals many filings with fewer reductions granted.

• Several common residential classes (like 2-11, 2-06, 2-12, 2-03) landed closer to the middle, often around the high teens to mid-20% range.

• Some commercial classes showed higher success rates (for example, 5-17 and 5-97), but on much smaller appeal counts, so the percentage can swing more year to year.

Cook County Tax Appeals regularly tracks these class patterns across Cook County townships so owners can see what is typical for their property type, not just the township average.

Lake View Township Assessed Value Changes Explained

A key question owners ask is: “Did appeals actually move assessed values?”

Here is what happened in Lake View Township:

• Average proposed AV: 92,140

• Average final AV: 89,151

• Average change: down 2,989 (about 3.2%) overall

Why this matters:

• Your assessed value is one of the building blocks used to calculate your property tax bill.

• If the assessed value drops, it can reduce your tax burden (depending on exemptions, rates, and other factors).

• Even when most appeals are “No Change,” the wins can still be meaningful for the owners who receive reductions.

• A helpful detail: in this dataset, “No Change” outcomes kept the assessed value exactly the same on average, while successful appeals reduced assessed values by about 14.8% on average for the appeals that won.

If you are trying to figure out whether your assessment looks high, Cook County Tax Appeals helps owners translate “proposed vs final assessed value” into plain-English next steps.

What These Results Mean for Lake View Township Property Owners

If you live in Lake View Township, these results suggest a few practical takeaways:

• The overall win rate is modest (11.2%), so evidence and fit matter.

• Your property class matters. Some classes tend to see reductions more often than others.

• A small percentage change can still be real money when the assessed value is high, especially for larger properties.

• Timing is crucial. Appeals are only accepted during the open filing window for your area, so checking deadlines early helps.
