How to appeal your property taxes in Cook County -

I know, it seems like a daunting task... However if you do it right, it's not hard and you can save thousands. I've successfully done it twice and my taxes are significantly lower than they would be otherwise - here's how.

Option 1: The easy way

Hire a law firm to represent you in the appeals process. This is what I've always done and although it does cost money, it saves lots of time and energy. They've done it thousands of times,…

Loft condos for sale Chicago, IL

Chicago Lofts for Sale
