Simple Tax Appeal is a self-filing information tool.

What the service provides

Simple Tax Appeal organizes publicly available Cook County property and assessment records, identifies potential comparable properties, and generates materials that a homeowner may use while preparing an assessment appeal.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for verifying all property characteristics, assessment values, deadlines, filing requirements, photographs, and attachments against official Cook County records before filing. You decide which properties and statements to submit.

No professional representation

Simple Tax Appeal does not file an appeal, represent you before a government agency, or provide legal or appraisal services. Simple Tax Appeal does not promise a particular assessment reduction, tax savings amount, percentage reduction, or government decision.

Assessment Reduction Guarantee

When the Assessment Reduction Guarantee is displayed at checkout for a paid filing package order, it is a limited promise to refund the filing package purchase price if the eligibility requirements in the Refund Policy and Guarantee Terms are met. It is not a representation that an appeal will succeed.

Property-year access

A filing package purchase unlocks the Assessor and Board of Review packages for one property and assessment year. Reports may be regenerated while that assessment year remains available, and their contents may change as public data is refreshed.

Limitation

Use of the service is at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Simple Tax Appeal’s total liability relating to a paid filing package is limited to the amount paid for that filing package.
