Property tax appeal seminar for Wheeling Township
Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Dan Patlak is announcing a property tax appeal seminar that will be offered to taxpayers seeking to appeal their 2013 property tax assessments.
The seminar is co-sponsored by Wheeling Township Assessor Jerry Sadler and Wheeling village president and board of trustees. The hour long session will educate taxpayers on how to file a successful tax appeal in a time when the economy is putting added pressures to home and business owners.
The seminar includes a presentation by Commissioner Dan Patlak explaining how property taxes are calculated and the appeal procedure of the Board of Review. Before the end of the evening, taxpayers will have an opportunity to work with staff from the Board of Review to address their specific questions and concerns.
This event is free to the public and there is no fee to appeal at the Board of Review. Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their most recent tax bill.
The seminar will be held 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 25, at the Wheeling Village Hall, 2 Community Blvd., in Wheeling.
Appeal forms also may be picked up at the Board of Review at 118 N. Clark St., Room 601 in Chicago or at the Rolling Meadows Satellite Office, 2121 Euclid Ave., Room 237.
