Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Maureen Murphy and her staff will conduct 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."
