Cook County homeowners and business owners, it’s time to prepare: property tax bills are arriving September 1—and most will see an increase. The county will be mailing out 1.8 million property tax bills after the latest round of delays, and about 1.3 million local homeowners can expect higher bills this year. The impact also extends to around 100,000 businesses in Cook County, so this isn’t just a concern for residential property owners. With over 25 years of experience helping clients make informed decisions—whether selling for top profit or navigating the buying and financing process—I recognize how important it is to be ready for changes like these. Mark September 1 on your calendar, and let’s stay proactive together.
