Township of Schaumburg Assessor John R. Lawson, along with Cook County Board Commissioner Tim Schneider, State Senator Dan Kotowski, State Representative Michelle Mussman and the seven Township Mayors (Craig Johnson Elk Grove Village, William McLeod Hoffman Estates, Rodney Craig Hanover Park, Gayle Smolinski Roselle, Al Larson Schaumburg, Tom Rooney Rolling Meadows and Billie Roth Streamwood), in conjunction with Cook County Assessor's Office, will host a seminar for Residential Property Owners. Staff from Lawson's Township Assessor's Office and Cook County Assessors Office's staff will be on hand to file your appeals that evening. This seminar will be held:
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014
Schaumburg Township Hall
1 Illinois Blvd.
Hoffman Estates, IL 60169
6 p.m.
This will be the first appeal Township of Schaumburg homeowners will have through the Cook County Assessor's Office before the fall 2015 tax bills. "It is important to appeal your assessed value" Assessor Lawson said. A successful appeal on your assessed value will take effect on the second installment of your 2014 tax bill payable in 2015.
Schaumburg Township residents that believe their property is over assessed are welcome to attend. "It is very important that all property owners are not over assessed," said Schaumburg Township Assessor John R. Lawson. "I along with the above elected officials have worked very hard to represent property owners." Assessor Lawson encourages any residential property owner to appeal their assessed value even if they recently appealed with the Cook County Board of Review. "Property owners can appeal twice a year," Lawson added.
The seminar will educate taxpayers on how to file a successful tax appeal in a time when the economy is putting added pressures to homeowners. The event includes a short presentation by Cook County Assessor's Office explaining how property taxes are calculated. Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their SECOND installment tax bill to the seminar. Residents WILL be able to appeal at the seminar. THIS SEMINAR IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC.
