The Township of Lyons
is now open for the 2015 appeal filing. The last day to file with our office
will be June
8th by 3:30pm.
If the Cook
County Assessor has placed a higher market value on your property
compared to your appraisal or closing statement from the
years 2012,2013, 2014 or 2015 this would be good supporting
documentation. You will need to bring in two copies of either of these
documents and we will assist you in filing a "manual appeal".
Other supporting
documentation that could be helpful would be a market analysis
or sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood. A market analysis can
be done by a realtor and sales can be looked up by going to www.zillow.com or www.trulia.com
We can also run
comparables for you based on the price per square foot of your home if you do
not have any supporting documentation.
You may file
online by going to www.cookcountyassessor.com When
filing online you can add your comparables but you still can not
send any supporting documentation as an attachment to your appeal. A
manual appeal should be completed when you have supporting documentation.
Manual appeals can be brought to the Township Assessor's office or mailed to
the address on the appeal form. Please understand if you mail the appeal
directly to Cook County we can not be responsible if it gets lost in the
mail.
Our hours are Monday
through Friday 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. We do not take
appointments.
The office will be
closed on Monday May 25, 2015 in observance of Memorial
Day.
