Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi last week released the initial assessments of residential and commercial properties in Worth Township.
“I strongly encourage property owners to review their reassessment notice to ensure their property characteristics and market value reflect their home,” said 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.”
“We are here to help property owners. Residents are encouraged to attend a workshop to address their concerns regarding their reassessment notices. The Cook County Assessor’s Office will present information about how to understand their reassessment notice and explain how values are determined,” said Worth Township Assessor Shaun Murphy. “The workshops will provide an opportunity to determine if an appeal should be filed, an overview of the online application, and teach homeowners about available property tax savings.”
Appeals for Worth Township can be filed until Monday, December 11.
To learn more about property assessments and appeals, watch the upcoming virtual workshop live on Facebook or YouTube scheduled on Monday, November 27, from 6-7 p.m.
