Terms of service

Last updated 23 September 2026

What we do

We prepare a residential assessment appeal from the answers you give us and file it with the Cook County Assessor's Office on the current official form. The fee is $75 per appeal.

What we are not

We are not a law firm and we do not give legal or tax advice. We are not affiliated with the Cook County Assessor's Office, and you can file the same appeal yourself, free, directly with that office.

No guarantee of outcome

The Assessor decides every appeal. We cannot promise a reduction in your assessment or your tax bill, and the fee is for preparing and filing the appeal, not for a particular result.

Your responsibilities

You confirm that you own the property or are authorised to act for the owner, and that the answers you give are true. We file what you tell us; we cannot verify your answers independently, and an appeal based on inaccurate information may be rejected.

Deadlines

Each township has its own filing window. We submit your appeal promptly, but if you start an appeal after your township has closed we will file it for the next available period or refund you — see the refund policy.

Limitation of liability

Our liability for any claim connected with your appeal is limited to the fee you paid.
