Regina guided me step by step on the website to do name change and make a payment through the website. Had a soothing voice and answered my questions.

If I have an option to choose minus Zero star, I will definitely click on it. Miserable and obnoxious workers there, trained to be rude. I submit my tax payment 6 days prior to due date and they had me waiting on the due date I got email from them that my payment was rejected. I called ( to talk to someone you wait on the line for over 35 minutes each time ) and a guy sounded nice tried to help me and gave me his email address to send him the proof, I did. He could see I also submitted another payment on Marc. 1, 22 and said hold tight 2 days and I will help you. Until today the 8th of Mar. he never contacted me neither answered my emails. I called now, NICK the obnoxious one ( pushed to work ) told me you must pay the amount plus your penalty!!!!!!! Yes I am panelized because they make stories, lied to me and my bank managers told me no one attempted to withdrawal the amount since they were alert and ready to follow the transaction and get back with me. Story short: it is a shame to know and hear huge number of people talking bad about the city of Chicago. Chicago deserve the best of everything and it is a big shame for them knowing citizens are talking bad about them and still they don’t care a bit. Fishy huh? Yes.

I'm not a resident of IL, but helped people use your online system and have never in my life been treated so disrepectful and treated rudely when dealing with that should be professional, was considering movimg, but the respective communication from the over all agency is rude, please take an outside agency to conduct professional parties that state they are to be helpful, respectful, and most of all professional, not liking your conduct to the community or communicatons from all your staff on all levels. I will never consider even wanting to visit ever again, just rude and this a call out to look inside your staffing misconduct to the public, so 😢, to bad

Although I am still the owner, I have not taken the senior exemption on my condo. I am now 92 years old. My son and his wife live there since I moved to be near my daughter in Massachusetts. Is it too late to ask for the discount?

Lois Lineal | Oct 11, 2021
Trina Quarles | Oct 11, 2021

I have no idea about exemptions for a Condo. If it is available you would have to contact the Treasurer Office to inquire if you are eligible. I do know that the exemption is available while you live in the property. I hope this helps.

Patricia Matthias | Oct 11, 2021

Hello My question is how much I need to pay every month for my property tax

Ed Bartolome | Oct 11, 2021
John Franklin | Oct 11, 2021

The Cook County Assessor's office doesn't bill you monthly. They send you a bill in March, and another in August. How much you pay depends on the assessed value of your home. Some neighborhoods are assessed higher home values, others less.

I received some occasion a communication from Mr. Maria Papas in the same that indicated that it is possible that I had some overpayment money in the property tax, if so, I would ask you to give me checking my payments if possible.

LUIS MEZA | Oct 11, 2021
