A property owner in Oak Park Township can appeal the assessed value of their property to the Cook County Assessor’s Office between May 17 and June 16, 2021.

According to Oak Park Township Assessor Ali ElSaffar, individuals looking for assistance in filing appeals should feel free to contact his office at (708) 383-8005 to set up appointments during the appeal period.

“All Oak Park properties were reassessed in 2020, and most of the values set in 2020 will remain unchanged until Oak Park’s next reassessment in 2023,” ElSaffar said. “Because the 2020 reassessment was such an important part of the tax process, many people believe that assessed values can only be appealed during a reassessment year. But since property values can change from year to year, assessed values can be appealed in any year, including 2021.”

ElSaffar expects to see less appeals in 2021, but acknowledges that there are circumstances that cause a property owner to seek an appeal in a non-reassessment year.
