Board of Review Accepting Assessment Appeals From Oak Park Through September 3 

Oak Park, Illinois –Oak Park property owners concerned about their property taxes now have an opportunity to do something about next year’s tax bills. According to Oak Park Township Assessor Ali ElSaffar, Oak Park property owners can appeal their 2024 assessed values with the Cook County Board of Review through September 3, 2024.

During the appeal period, the Oak Park Township Assessor's office will be available to assist local residents in preparing evidence to substantiate their appeals. Residents seeking help should call the Township at (708) 383-8005 to set up appointments. Most appointments will be conducted over the phone, but in-person appointments are also available.

All Oak Park properties were reassessed in 2023, and the tax bills mailed in July were the first to reflect the reassessment. Since the period for filing 2023 appeals has been closed for nearly a year, taxpayers generally cannot do anything about the bills they just paid. But a successful 2024 appeal with the Board of Review can reduce a property owner’s 2024 tax bill, which will be paid in calendar year 2025.
