Board of Review Opens Group 2 for 2023 Appeals

The Cook County Board of Review has opened 2023 property tax appeals for the second group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2023 assessed value is October 17, 2023. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 2:

    • Berwyn

    • Hanover
    • River Forest
    • Rogers Park

Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed.

Appealing your home’s 2023 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in the fall of 2024, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption.

The window to appeal your assessment in Cicero is now open through the deadline of May 17th. A second opportunity to appeal at the Board of Review will open up later this year.

The housing market is regularly changing, therefore even if you appealed and won last year, we recommend you review your assessment again.
