TAX APPEAL SEMINAR

On Wednesday, March 24th, Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Brendan Houlihan will be holding a seminar with Des Plaines Mayor Marty Moylan on how to appeal your property assessment should you believe you are over assessed in Cook County.

The seminar will begin at 7:00 pm. Attendees are asked to bring their property tax bills in order to more effectively file an appeal should they feel their residence is over assessed. There will be a short presentation, and staff from the Board of Review (property tax appeals board) will be on hand to answer questions, and help fill out appeal forms. The only requirement for a review of property assessments is a timely completed appeal form from the Board of Review.

The presentation will explain how to file an appeal, and how an appeal is granted. Please arrive at 7 pm to the Des Plaines City Hall, 1420 Miner Street. Any questions please contact Commissioner Brendan Houlihan’s office at (312) 603-3644. The Board of Review does open on a township basis. Maine Township is open for appeals until March 29th.
