PROPERTY ASSESSMENT REVIEW:
Our service begins with a comprehensive property assessment review. Our property tax appeal team employs a highly effective process that evaluates your property assessment through various tax appeal options to ensure your property is assessed accurately and fairly. We will also review your property record for any discrepancies in your property’s description with your township. If errors are found, you may be overpaying your taxes. In some cases, we may be able to secure a refund for the prior year by correcting those errors.
Tax Appeals Lake County recommends conducting a property review every tax year in Lake, McHenry, and DuPage counties, where property assessments may change annually. The rapidly fluctuating real estate market can lead to assessment variations, and additional market factors may contribute to your property being over-assessed. Below are examples of reasons to have your property assessment reviewed:
- Recent purchase of your property.
- The assessment of the property is higher than that of comparable properties.
- Recent home improvement project.
- The assessment is higher than sales of similar homes in your area.
- Fluctuating market conditions.
When we receive your assessment review request, our tax appeal team begins by reviewing the details of your property to identify any errors in your property’s description. Once the township assessor releases the new assessment numbers for the upcoming tax year, our review continues. Depending on the township, this information is typically released between July and November. Our thorough analysis of all available data, combined with our expertise in the assessment process, will help determine if a tax appeal is warranted. Once we complete the assessment review, you will be notified of the outcome. If a tax appeal is warranted, we will file your case with the Board of Review.
