RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY TAX APPEALS PERIOD NOW OPEN |
|
|
|
Residents can appeal their Cook County property taxes with the Board of Review at the Township of Schaumburg now through Jan. 25. The township is open during the appeals period to assist residents Monday through Friday. The Township has two options for appeals:
- Email Victor Morales your home property index number (pin), phone number, email and home address. This is the fastest and most convenient way - no visit to the office is required. Emails must be received at least one hour before closing on the last day of appeals.
- Walk-in appointments are also available but emailing your appeal information is strongly encouraged. You’ll need to bring your pin, phone number, email and home address.
To learn about the tax appeal process and how to appeal, a free appeals seminar will be held at 6 p.m. on Jan. 19 at the township located at 1 Illinois Blvd., Hoffman Estates. Participants should bring their second installment property tax bill or their pin.
Any questions can be directed to the Township of Schaumburg Assessor’s Office at (847) 285-4567. Additional information can be found on their website. |
