Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Maureen Murphy and her staff will conduct the seminar. The seminar will inform homeowners how to determine whether they were over assessed, where to go to gather evidence for an appeal with the Board of Review and how to fill out and file the assessment complaint form. Taxpayers are encouraged to bring their Tax Bill, Assessment Notice or Property Identification Number to the seminar in order to complete and submit complaint forms at the seminar.
Evanston Township residents have until November 2, 2005 to submit their complaint forms to the Cook County Board of Review.
Commissioner Suffredin commented, "The Board of Review is Cook County's safety net to ensure citizens have a voice in obtaining a fair assessment. If your feel your assessment is improper, please take advantage of your right to appeal."
