Lake View Township Assessment Notices Mailed

Lake View Township assessment notices have been mailed by the Cook County Assessor’s office. The 30 day window to appeal your property’s assessed value is now open. The deadline to file an appeal at the Assessor’s office is May 10th.Lake View

Cook County townships are divided into 3 groups for the purposes of triennial reassessments. Lake View is in the city group which was reassessed in 2015 and will next be reassessed in 2018. If you missed your opportunity to appeal in 2015 or 2016 this is your last opportunity to appeal your assessment before you are reassessed in 2018. Due to a constantly changing market we believe it is in your interest to thoroughly review your assessment each year in order to determine whether an appeal makes sense or not.

Listening Tour A Chance to Question Cook County AssessorThe Cook County Board of Review has opened 2019 property tax appeals for the fourth group. The Board’s deadline to appeal your 2019 assessed value is October 8th. Below are the townships that are currently open in Group 4:

Appealing your home’s 2019 assessed value is the only way to achieve property tax relief on your second installment property tax bill in July 2020, other than selling your home or claiming a new exemption. Assessments can be appealed every year, regardless of when a township was reassessed.

Property Tax Appeal Expertise that Adds Up

lakeview-sm

When it comes to finding the right property tax appeal service, expertise can make all the difference.

One former Kensington client learned that all too well.

The client owned a home in Lake View Township valued at $1.3 million. Over a four-year period beginning in 2014, we used our proprietary algorithm and a team of experienced analysts to help the homeowner make the strongest possible case for reducing the assessed value of their home.

The result was property tax savings of $16,475.80 over four years – an average of $4,118.95 per year.

But when an acquaintance referred the homeowner to one of our competitors in 2018, the client decided to give the new company a try. The competitor managed to achieve savings of about $500. Spread out over the next three years, the reduction in their assessment will yield roughly $166 in savings per year.
