Property value and taxes have gone way up?

We received our tax assessment and our property value went way up. This also means our taxes went up significantly. Do we have any recourse to fight the increase in property taxes? We live in Illinois.

Its a good idea to contact your assessors office and talk with a county appraiser. They can tell you if there was a mistake made. If there was no mistakes made then getting them to reduce your taxes is unlikely.

You can always have your taxes reassessed and file an appeal with the town or county you reside in.. The specific process and deadlines for filing an appeal can vary depending on your county.

you have a right to appeal. best done with an attorney that knows the methodology behind the number and is able to explain it well to you. also best to appeal every bill. most attorneys will just collect a quarter of the savings as their wage
