Property Tax Assessment Appeal Seminar Set for Lemont Township

Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Dan Patlak will be holding a property tax assessment appeal seminar Monday, October 6, 2014, at the Lemont Township Community Center for taxpayers seeking to appeal their 2014 property tax assessments.

The seminar is co-hosted by Lemont Township Assessor Kenneth C. Jacobowski, Mayor Brian Reaves, and Lemont Village Trustee Paul Chialdikas. The hour long session will educate taxpayers on how to file a successful tax appeal and address why property taxes go up when the value of your home goes down.

The seminar includes a presentation by Commissioner Dan Patlak explaining the appeal procedure at the Board of Review. Before the end of the evening, taxpayers will have an opportunity to work with staff from the Board of Review to address their specific questions and concerns.

This event is free to the public, and there is no fee to appeal at the Board of Review. Taxpayers are asked to bring a copy of their most recent tax bill.

The seminar will be held:
