About the Assessor’s Office
The Assessor’s Purpose
By statute the township Assessor is the Deputy to the Cook County Assessor and is under direction from that office. However, since our Township Assessor does not assess, this office is in the unique position of being able to assist taxpayers with assessed value complaints along with other services, such as filing exemptions.
Property Tax
Appeals
Our Assessors are here to help you and make your property tax appeal process as simple as possible. The Township is divided into neighborhoods, and your home is given a class code that is determined by the style of the house you live in. Our assessors will look for properties that are “comparable” to your home, and that are in the same neighborhood and class as your home in evaluating your appeal.
Property Tax
Exemptions
There are different exemptions you may be able to apply for regarding your property taxes. They include, but are not limited to, a homeowner’s exemption, senior citizen exemption, senior freeze exemption, disabled veteran’s exemption, and more. Please refer to the links below for more detailed information about the exemption(s) you may qualify for.
