What you get, what you don't

If the Cook County Assessor issues a final denial of the Tier 2 appeal ParcelVue files for you, the $40 filing portion is refunded. The $49 evidence packet portion is non-refundable once generated.

Tier 1 and Tier 2 are one-time payments. Nothing auto-renews. You can come back next reassessment cycle if and when you need to. The Portfolio Plan is the only recurring product, designed for landlords with multiple properties to track.

Pricing questions.

What if Cook County doesn't reduce my assessment?

With Tier 1, you get the evidence packet whether the appeal succeeds or not, so the $49 is for the analysis and documents regardless of outcome. With Tier 2, if the Cook County Assessor issues a final denial of the appeal ParcelVue files for you, the $40 filing portion is refunded. The $49 evidence packet portion is non-refundable once generated.

How is this different from contingency services that charge 25-35%?

Contingency services charge a percentage of your tax savings, so on a typical $1,800 annual savings they take $450 to $630. ParcelVue charges a flat fee regardless of how much you save. If your appeal succeeds and saves you a meaningful amount, ParcelVue is dramatically cheaper. If it doesn't, you've still paid less than the alternatives would have charged just to file.

What's the difference between Tier 1 ($49) and Tier 2 ($89)?

Tier 1 gives you the evidence packet and a filing guide so you can submit the appeal yourself through the Cook County Assessor's portal. Tier 2 includes the same evidence packet, and ParcelVue files the appeal on your behalf using practitioner code 15481. Tier 2 is for homeowners who want the filing handled.

Will my property taxes go up if I appeal?

No. Cook County does not raise assessments as a result of an appeal. The worst outcome is the Assessor denies the appeal and your assessment stays where it currently is. Appealing creates downside protection, not downside risk.

Does the price renew automatically?

Tier 1 and Tier 2 are one-time payments with no auto-renewal. You pay once, get the evidence packet (and filing if Tier 2), and that's it. The only recurring product is the Portfolio Plan ($149/year), designed for landlords tracking multiple properties.
