The second round of Cook County property taxes will be shipped this week, causing some residents and businesses to brace for another case of sticker shock.
Juan Giron, owner of a bookstore in Pilsen, says his property taxes have increased from $26,000 to $85,000 overnight. “And when we have asked the assessor how this happens, he really has no response,” Giron said.
As the 2021 re-assessments and 2020 tax bills begin to show up in resident’s mailboxes, one local asserted that “property tax assessments have gone up astronomically.”
In an exclusive interview with WGN Investigates, Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas declared: “We found in our last study that over a period of time, people are now paying more over a 10-year period in property taxes than they did for the house. And that’s wrong.”
