Taxpayers Across Lake Township, Located in Southwest Chicago, Have Until December 20th to Appeal and Potentially Lower Their Future Property Tax Bills

Homeowners in Lake Township have until December 20th to appeal their property’s assessed value to the Cook County Board of Review. Submitting an appeal with the Board of Review is a free service and can potentially lower your future property tax bills. Last year, approximately 62% of homeowners who filed directly to the Board of Review had their property tax bill reduced.

Filing an appeal is a free service that cannot increase your property tax bill, regardless of the appeal’s outcome.”

While Cook County’s property taxes have by increased 4% in tax year 2023 according to the Cook County Treasurer’s Office, multiple Lake Township communities incurred higher increases:
