Common objections

Three reasons homeowners don't appeal

None of them hold up.

“I don’t even know if I’m over-assessed.”

That’s exactly what the free lookup is for. Type your address — we’ll show you where your property stands relative to similar homes in your neighborhood. Takes 10 seconds. If you’re not over-assessed, we’ll tell you.

“The process seems too complicated.”

It’s not — if you have the right evidence. Our packet includes comparable properties, a cover letter, and a step-by-step guide for your township. Most homeowners complete the filing in under 30 minutes.

“What if it doesn’t work?”

Nothing happens. Your assessment stays the same. There’s no penalty for filing in Cook County, and your taxes cannot go up as a result. The only cost is $68 and the time it takes to submit.
