Odds, risk & outcomes
What are the odds of winning a Cook County property tax appeal?
Better than most homeowners assume, and the two stages compound. Across the county’s own records, roughly 25% of appeals to the Assessor win a reduction, and the Board of Review — the second stage — has reduced assessments in about 32% of cases. A well-supported appeal with good comparables does better than the average.
The odds are highest when your evidence is strong: close, similar comparables assessed below your home. A hopeful appeal with weak comparables is what pulls the average down. Check your address to see whether your comparables support a case.
