The Cook County Board of Review has announced dates for filing assessment appeal complaints for suburban property owners in Bloom, Elk Grove, New Trier, Orland and Proviso Townships. The filing dates for property assessment appeals begin on Thursday, March 24, 2011 and will end on Friday, April 22, 2011.

Property owners may appeal their assessments to the Board if they believe that their assessment is too high. A lawyer is not required to file an appeal on behalf of a residential property owner.

Anyone interested in receiving an assessment appeal complaint form can call the Cook County Board of Review at 312-603-5542. Appeal complaint forms can also be picked up in person at the Board, 118 N. Clark in Chicago or printed from our website at www.CookCountyBoardofReview.com.

A limited number of appeal complaint forms are also available at local township Assessor offices and at Board of Review satellite offices located in county courthouses in Skokie, Rolling Meadows, Markham, Maywood and Bridgeview.

The Cook County Board of Review is a quasi-judicial agency responsible for adjudicating assessment appeals for all property in Cook County. The Board is run by three commissioners elected from separate geographic districts within the county. Commissioner Dan Patlak is the newly elected commissioner from the 1^st district, representing Suburban Cook County.

Anyone interested in more information or with questions regarding the appeals process should call the Board at (312) 603-5542.
