Our office is doing all we can to ensure assessments reflect any effects of COVID-19. South suburban reassessments, which are scheduled for this year will be adjusted to reflect estimated effects of this pandemic on property values. North suburban and Chicago portions of Cook County, which are not scheduled for reassessment will also have their property values examined this year to determine what adjustments need to be made due to the economic effects of COVID-19.
Property owners are not required to appeal in order to receive the COVID-19 review and adjustment for eligible properties.
As a refresher, one-third of Cook County is reassessed each year, which is known as a triennial property assessment system. Please refer to the image above as a visual aid. For more information on how the property tax system works in Cook County, click here.
