Chicago, Illinois. October 17, 2005.  Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin (13th District) wants to remind residents in Rogers Park Township that the Board of Review is currently accepting property tax appeals for 2005 for those property owners who are not satisfied that their assessment is accurate.  The deadline for Rogers Park Township residents to submit appeals to the Board of Review is November 2, 2005.

Residents who did or did not file an appeal previously are encouraged to do so if they think their property was over assessed.  Property owners with questions on the Board of Review appeal process are encouraged to attend Commissioner Suffredin’s Property Tax Appeal Seminar.
