Question Directory

Property Tax Appeal by County

Each county sets its own protest clock, form, and hearing body. This directory states the deadline, form, and hearing body for the four counties with guides, using only figures verified in those guides. A county's deadline is never carried into another county.

Property tax appeals by county

This directory covers filing a protest of an assessed value. It does not cover delinquent property tax sales. Filing mechanics only: no valuation advice, and no claim that a protest will lower any tax bill.

Tools

Use the Property Tax Protest Deadline Checker to apply a county's stated deadline rule to a notice date. The checker computes no Cook County date, because the notice-printed date and township calendar control there.
