Is your home assessed higher than similar homes nearby?
Enter your address. We compare your assessment with similar houses in your Cook County assessment neighborhood, using the Assessor’s own public data, and show what owners who appealed in your township were granted.
What the check looks at
- Similar homes: same property class and assessment neighborhood, building size within 20%, built within 15 years; at least 5 of them.
- One stage of the year at a time: the value on your notice, the Assessor’s final value, or the value after the Board of Review, the same stage for your home and every home it is compared with.
- Higher than similar homes means at least 10% above their median assessed value per square foot.
- Your township: where this year’s reassessment stands, and how owners who filed their own appeals there fared in recent years.
Condominiums are not checked yet. More on how the check works.
