Cook County Assessor Joseph Berrios announced that reassessment notices were mailed to close to 32,000 residential property owners in Niles Township. Each year, the Cook County Assessor’s Office reassesses one-third of the nearly 1.8 million parcels of property located in Cook County. This year, the Assessor’s Office is reassessing properties in the townships located in north and west suburban Cook County.

Reassessment notices contain proposed values that will be reflected on second-installment tax bills, which will be due in the summer of 2014. The time to file an appeal is now, however, when reassessment notices are received. The deadline date for appeals for Niles Township is October 7, 2013. Berrios stressed that homeowners do not need an attorney to file an appeal.
