Property Tax Appeal Forum

[CommRogers]

Commissioner Larry R. Rogers, Jr. of the Cook County Board of Review will hold two forums in Berwyn Township for Berwyn Township property owners on appealing their property tax assessments.

The forums will be held:

Thursday, October 27, 2005 at 7:00 p.m. at VFW of Berwyn, 1535 Harlem Avenue in Berwyn

AND

Friday, October 28, 2005 at 10:30 a.m. at Berwyn Police Station, 6401 West 31st Street in Berwyn

All property owners who file an appeal will be given full consideration, and if supported by evidence the Board will reduce the assessed value of the property.  Property owners are requested to bring their tax bill.

"Appealing your property tax assessment is easy and straightforward, and my staff will help you through every step of the process," said Commissioner Rogers.  "No citizen should have to pay more than their fair share of property taxes."

There is no fee to file an appeal, and in most cases an attorney is not necessary.  The Board of Review does not assess property, set the tax rate, or collect taxes.  The Board of Review serves as an independent Board mandated to review assessment appeals.  For further information, please visit www.CookCountyBoardOfReview.com or call the office of Commissioner Larry R. Rogers, Jr. at 312-603-5540.
