Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas and ABC 7 Chicago will host another phone bank on June 15, 2022, to help Cook County homeowners find refunds, apply for property tax exemptions and avoid the Tax Sale.
The last phone bank conducted by the Treasurer’s Office in December helped nearly 1,500 taxpayers identify almost $3.5 million in potential refunds and missing exemptions.
“All Cook County homeowners are welcome to call the phone bank,” Pappas said. “We will do this as long as people have money coming to them.”
The following are the phone bank details:
Date: Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Time: 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Location: Cook County Treasurer’s Office
Phone Bank Number: 312.603.5105
Samantha Chatman, consumer investigative reporter with ABC 7’s I-Team, will report on the phone bank throughout out the day. Callers to the phone bank should give their address or Property Index Number (PIN) to researchers who will:
- Search $84 million in available property tax refunds
- Check if you are eligible for $34 million in missing property tax exemptions
- Verify if your property is on the Tax Sale list with delinquent taxes
