Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi released the initial assessments of residential and commercial properties in Lake Township on August 29, 2024. The Assessor’s Office reassesses one-third of Cook County every year. Chicago was last reassessed in 2021. “I strongly encourage property owners to review their reassessment notice to ensure their property characteristics and market value reflect their home,” said Assessor Fritz Kaegi. “It is important to understand that assessments in Cook County reflect market value over the last three years. My office will be hosting a virtual workshop to assist property owners and explain reassessments in their community.” The total assessed value in Lake Township grew 31%, which reflects three years of real estate market changes. Appeals for Lake Township must be submitted by October 11, 2024. How do assessment appeals work? Property owners are given an opportunity to appeal their assessment if the property characteristics listed on an assessment notice are incorrect, or if the estimated market value of a property is significantly more than what it could sell for in the current real estate market.
