Northern Cook County assessments growing by leaps and bounds
Assessments across Northern Cook County grew on average between 18 and 40%, thanks to the 2025 reassessment.
Reassessments of all the Northern Townships are now complete, including: Barrington, Evanston, Elk Grove, Hanover, Leyden, Maine, New Trier, Niles, Northfield, Norwood Park, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Wheeling.
Now is the perfect time to register if you want to ensure your new tax assessment is fair and you will end up owing no more than necessary on your upcoming bills.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you received our marketing material but missed your Township's Assessor deadline, worry not! The Assessor is just the first appeal deadline of the year, not the only. Several Townships still available for appeal at the Board of Review. If you missed your Board of Review deadline, you can always register early for a 2026 appeal.
Potential clients may do so anytime here.

The properties below represent a few of the many tax reductions from the our appeals and the grounds on which they were based.
An owner’s house is exactly the same size, age and style as four of his neighbor’s houses, but he pays 25% more in taxes. This lack of uniformity is a sign that the property is being over-taxed. Contact our property tax appeal advisors today.
LEARN MOREA couple purchased a home for $300,000 in an arm’s-length transaction, but the Assessor estimated the market value at $360,000 - a full $60,000 above the actual price. This is a sign that the owners will be paying more than they should in taxes. Contact our property tax appeal advisors today.
LEARN MOREA house is listed at 1700 square feet of living space, but the Assessor shows it at 1900. When the Assessor measurements show a higher square footage than actual, an owner is paying tax on more house than she owns.
LEARN MOREProperties that are uninhabitable while undergoing major reconstruction due to heavy winds, fire, massive flooding, building code violations or a full upgrade of the building are often deemed uninhabitable by the city. These are grounds for a tax reduction.
LEARN MOREIf your rental building’s bottom line is being impacted by vacancies due to market conditions, code violations, renovations while undergoing major upgrades etc., you may be entitled to a tax break. Property Tax Solutions can help leverage strong supporting evidence to win an appeal for lowering taxes and leading to a quicker return to normal business operations.
LEARN MOREThe new Assessor is now requiring verifiable income and expense documentation on your business—whether it’s a manufacturing plant, retail shop, self-storage facility, restaurant or mixed-use residential building. Stay up on new developments.

We are one of Cook County’s premier property tax law firms. We have saved tax dollars for tens of thousands of Cook County property owners by checking all the angles to maximize reductions in assessed valuations. We want to do the same for you.
If we don’t reduce your taxes, you don’t owe us. That’s why we have a vested interest in lowering your tax bill, and that’s also why Attorney Greg Hilton evaluates every appeal at least once, often twice, before evidence is submitted.
When our appeal saves money on your taxes, we simply split the savings 50/50 for the year we filed the appeal. If that year happens to be your Triennial Reassessment, 100% of any savings in years 2 and 3 goes directly into your pocket.
