Palatine Township residents can appeal assessed value

Palatine Township residents can file an appeal to the assessed value of their property with the Cook County Assessor until the deadline Monday, Aug. 29. Township Assessor Terry Kelly said the most common reason to appeal is lack of uniformity in which residents believe their property’s value is over-assessed in comparison to similar properties. Residents may still file an appeal with the county assessor this year if they filed an appeal with the Board of Review last year, and even if they received a reduction. Assistance and necessary forms are available at the Palatine Township assessor’s office, 721 S. Quentin Road. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturdays.
