Cook County Sets Mailing and Due Dates for 2024 Property Tax Bills
Cook County has announced important details regarding mailing and due dates for the 2024 property tax bills. The second installment of these bills will be sent to homeowners on November 14, 2023, with a payment deadline set for December 15, 2023.
Delayed Mailing of Property Tax Bills
The mailing of the second installment was postponed due to complications in upgrading the county’s property tax system. This has resulted in a shorter timeframe between when the bills are issued and when they are due.
Exemption Application Process
Homeowners who believe they are missing property tax exemptions can expedite their tax bill adjustment by submitting an Exemption Certificate of Error application. This can be done at the Cook County Assessor’s Office in Skokie.
- Location: Skokie Courthouse, 5600 W. Old Orchard Road, Skokie, IL.
- Submission: Walk-ins are accepted, but appointments are advised due to anticipated long wait times.
Additionally, residents in Evanston can seek help from the Property Tax Assessment Review Office for submitting exemption applications. Typically, adjusted tax bills are mailed within two to three weeks of approval, although this timeline is not guaranteed.
Payment Options
Property owners have multiple options for paying their tax bills. For further details or assistance, homeowners can visit the official Cook County Treasurer website.
