Terrible service. Avoid this place at any cost.

I called with questions about the veteran property tax exemption and Sophie was helpful regarding new application time period since it changed this year. The only problem or pain is the wait period on the phone which is similar to when I’m waiting for customer service with any comcast or utility company anyway. Today was about a 25 minute wait but last month I waited about 45 minutes then the line disconnected. I called back and waited another hour then hung up myself since I had stuff to do. Bottom line, always expect for the worst wait time like an hour so you’re prepared.

NOBODY ANSWERS THE PHONE - EVER. ALL automated, transfer a call to a representative and then SILENCE.. NOTHING.. Most unhelpful place EVER in the history of the universe.

Are we talking about the same office? 2 representatives went the extra mile when I missed a due date by a couple weeks. Totally professional follow-up; fixed in a matter of days.

Look on your tax BILL. You are not addressing the assessor with your question here.

Clyde Guilamo (Law Office of) | Oct 12, 2019

You can contact a property tax attorney. We usually charge on a contingency, which means you pay nothing upfront and nothing if we lose. If we win, you pay a portion of the savings.

How do I look into a vacant lot next door to my house(how can I purchase it & how much is the property taxes yearly?

Gershon Ben-Israel | Oct 12, 2019
Shawn Lai | Oct 12, 2019

You can go to assessor website and search by address if you know it. If you dont know it, there is a link on assessor website to go to the GIS map, its nicknamed cook county viewer. You can search your address and change to satellite view to figure out the exact parcel number. Once that's confirmed, you can look up owner information on recorder of deed website. If the property is located in a blighted neighborhood and the city owns it, it may qualify for some redevelopment programs. Hope this helps.

What is the "assessment date" for 2018 Cook County real estate taxes?

Jim Geis | Oct 12, 2019
Shawn Lai | Oct 12, 2019

Not sure what you mean by assessment date? Lien date is January 1, 2018 but Cook County pays RE taxes in arrears. So in 2018 you'll be paying 2017 taxes. The notice of value date and appeal deadline dates vary depending on township. Revaluation occurs on triennial bases.
