What is a Property Tax Appeal?
A Legal Challenge to Your Tax Assessment Value
A property tax appeal is a formal process that challenges the assessed value of your property used to calculate your tax bill. In Cook County and surrounding areas, properties are frequently over-assessed, resulting in property owners paying more than their fair share of taxes.
Our experienced property tax appeal attorneys know how to navigate this complex system to help reduce your property’s assessed value and lower your tax burden.
Don’t pay more than your fair share. Let us fight for your property tax reduction.

We prepare and file all necessary appeal documents with the appropriate authorities, adhering to strict deadlines. Our attorneys represent you throughout the process, eliminating the need for your personal appearance at hearings.
Step 5: Negotiation and Advocacy
We advocate aggressively for the maximum possible reduction, leveraging our extensive experience with the Cook County Assessor’s Office, Board of Review, and when necessary, the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board.
