Andrade Invites Homeowners to Free Property Tax Appeal Seminar

CHICAGO – To help homeowners learn how to lower their property tax bill, state Rep. Jaime Andrade, D-Chicago, is co-hosting a property tax appeal seminar with Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Michael Cabonargi, Ald. Margaret Laurino, state Rep. John D’Amico, D-Chicago and Cook County Commissioner John Fritchey on Wednesday, Jan. 3 at 6 p.m. in the church gymnasium of the Salvation Army, located at 5040 N. Pulaski.

“The continued rise of property taxes is causing a real strain on the budgets of working families,” Andrade said. “Any relief can help folks pay their bills on time or afford unexpected costs.”

Andrade’s seminar will feature a presentation by Cabonargi who will explain how to make an appeal and how appeals are granted. Attendees should bring a copy of their second installment property tax bill or make sure to have their property index number (PIN) available to be able to start the appeals process.

“Residents will be able to learn the ins and outs of the appeal process and hopefully save their families a few dollars on their tax bill,” Andrade said. “I’d like to thank Commissioner Cabonargi and his staff for coming out and assisting residents through the appeals process.”

The property tax appeal seminar is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Andrade’s full-time constituent service office at 773-267-2880 or staterep40@gmail.com.
