🏡 As part of the 2025 triennial reassessment for Northfield Township, you were sent an assessment notice from Cook County with your updated property assessed value. You can view this notice online: cookcountyassessor.com.
An appeal is intended to correct the accuracy of your assessment.
Your assessed value is an estimated fair market value of what the Cook County Assessor believes your property is worth in the current real estate market. This assessed value is the base amount used to calculate your share of property taxes. Your new 2025 assessed value is for property taxes payable beginning 2026.
Reasons for filing an appeal:
✔ Lack of Uniformity: If you believe the assessed value of your property is NOT in line (equitable) with comparable properties.
✔ Overvaluation: If you believe your property is overvalued, provide supporting documentation such as a recent closing statement or purchase prices of similar homes.
✔ Incorrect Property Description: This includes information such as square footage, number of rooms, age etc. Survey and photos can help with your appeal.
As Northfield Township Assessor, my office acts as your property tax advocate and liaison with Cook County agencies to help ensure your property taxes are equitable. The Cook County Assessor is responsible for estimating the market value of your property for assessment purposes which, along with exemptions, helps determine your share of property taxes owed.
“My office is here to serve the property owners of Northfield Township. As a member of the community, it is a responsibility I care deeply about.”
Please Note: We encourage residents to make an appointment to ensure that Assessor Staff is available to assist them. Please call 847-724-8300 x 2 or email: propertytaxhelp@northfieldtownship.com to make an appointment.

Cook County’s Annual Tax Sale to be Postponed for Seven Months
Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas plans to postpone the Annual Tax Sale for seven months, during which time she hopes to work with legislators on comprehensive property tax foreclosure reform measures.
At Pappas’s urging, the Illinois General Assembly last week passed legislation that allows the Treasurer to postpone the Annual Tax Sale previously set to be held this August. The legislation also provides that during the delay no additional interest will be charged on delinquent bills subject to the sale. Once the legislation officially becomes law, she will be allowed to delay the sale until March 2026.

Illinois Expands Property Tax Breaks for Veterans to Include World War II Vets
Illinois lawmakers have enacted significant changes to property tax exemptions benefiting veterans, including a landmark provision for those who served during World War II. These amendments, effective for the 2024 tax year, underscore our commitment to supporting our veteran community.
The newly expanded legislation, Public Act 103-0596, amends the Illinois Property Tax Code to make veterans who served during World War II exempt from paying property taxes on their primary residences, regardless of their disability status. The new law also extends the benefit to unmarried, surviving spouses of World War II veterans, certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for compensation due to service-connected death.

Appeals
An appeal is intended to correct the accuracy of your property’s assessment. An increase (or decrease) in your home’s assessment does not lead to the same increase (or decrease) in your property taxes.
Cook County follows a triennial reassessment cycle, meaning that a determination of each property’s fair market value and corresponding assessed value occurs once every three years for assessment purposes. This new assessed value along with exemptions helps determine your share of property taxes owed.
Property owners have two annual 30-day windows to appeal their assessed value. Once with the Cook County Assessor, cookcountyassessor.com/appeals and then followed by the Cook County Board of Review, cookcountyboardofreview.com/appeals.
Further relief may be sought through the Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB) or the courts.
Here at Northfield Township, we can help review your assessment to be sure it is equitable and file an appeal if helpful.
