Chicago - Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin (13th District) will sponsor a property tax appeal seminar for Evanston Township residents. The seminar will be held from 7 p.m to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, December 15, 2004 in City Council Chambers at Evanston Township City Hall, 2100 Ridge Avenue, Evanston.

Cook County Board of Review Commissioners Maureen Murphy and Joseph Berrios and their staffs 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.

Evanston Township residents have until January 6, 2005 to submit their complaint forms to the Cook County Board of Review.

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.

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."

For more information about the seminar, call Commissioner Suffredin's office at 847-864-1209 or the Board of Review at 312-603-3644.
