Home and business owners alike are frustrated as the latest Cook County property tax bills arrive. Property tax rates may have risen due to municipalities demanding more money to operate governments, or based on higher assessments of properties by the Cook County Assessor’s Office.

“I received mine in the mail on Saturday and I just about passed out,” said Dedra Davis of Bellwood. Davis and Vicky Granacki reached out to the I-Team because they’re seeing higher assessments and bigger property tax bills.

“I can’t keep a building if the taxes are the same amount as my income. I don’t know what doesn’t really actions I have to, you know, sell it, you know, demolish it. I’m not really sure,” Granacki said. Granacki owns a rental building in Chicago’s River West neighborhood. Both have to pay up by October 1.
