How to file a Cook County appeal: online filing, township pre-filings and key contact info
Summary
Assessor Cassandra Elston explained how taxpayers can file appeals online at cookcountyassessor.com, that Thornton Township will accept pre-filings, and gave phone numbers and the property index number residents should have ready.
Assessor Cassandra Elston walked through filing mechanics for residents who cannot come into the office. She directed viewers to cookcountyassessor.com to find filing dates and appeal forms and said her office is accepting pre-filings now to collect documentation early and create a file for both the Cook County Assessor and the Cook County Board of Review.
Elston warned that county mailings and late tax bills may change filing timing: "As everyone knows, the tax bills are late again going out. It also changes the filing dates for the appeals." She gave township contact information for assistance: "Again, you can reach us by phone 708-596-6040, extension 3175 or 3040," and she emphasized taxpayers should have their property index number when calling.
