County Report · Tax Year 2025
Cook County, IL
Of 1,260,666 residential parcels on the CCAO rolls this year, 278,960 appear overassessed relative to comparable neighbors. 22,557 of those are also supported by recent purchase price evidence — the strongest argument at a Board of Review hearing.
In Illinois, the Cook County Assessor is required to assess residential properties at 10% of fair cash value. If your home's assessed value per square foot is higher than comparable properties in your neighborhood, you're paying more than your fair share and have the right to appeal to the Board of Review.
