Residents of the Township can visit the Palatine Township Assessor’s office to verify their current exemptions and, if necessary, apply for exemptions. “We can verify which exemptions you have currently,” said Bill Pohlman, Palatine Township Assessor. “If you need to file for an exemption we can help fill out the form and then we’ll submit it to Cook County.”
The Homeowner Exemption, available to all owner-occupied homes, will automatically be renewed for those who received it last year. In addition, recipients of the exemption for People with Disabilities will have their exemptions automatically renewed for the first time this year. Individuals who purchased their homes in 2021 will have to apply this year for the 2022 Homeowner Exemption and any other exemptions for which they are eligible.
