On average, appeals results take 30 days once your township deadline has closed. In Cook County, property tax appeals are submitted the year before they are billed, so your savings are reflected on the following year’s tax bill. You’ll be able to track the status of your appeal every step of the way, and we’ll send you regular updates.

Up to 80% of the appeals submitted correctly are granted by the county. Even if the appeal is not accepted, there is no risk, your property taxes will not change.

The process of filing a property tax appeal on your own can be intimidating. In order to submit an appeal you would have to submit evidence to support their appeal, navigate a rapidly-changing real estate market to identify comparable properties, possess extensive knowledge of county and municipal property tax laws, utilize complex assessment formulas; and deal with shifting tax rates. TaxBack provides everything you’ll need to overcome these challenges and save on your property taxes. We’ll generate your appeal, provide evidence to support your case, and allow you to sign electronically.

TaxBack will submit your appeal and provide you with comparable property evidence for free. If and ONLY if your appeal results in your getting a property tax reduction, you pay TaxBack only 30% of your savings. So for example, if we save you $1000 this tax year, our fee is 30% of the total savings, or in this case $300 for that tax year. That’s $1000 you would have otherwise lost in property taxes!

Once you hit the submit button, your appeal is on its way. There is no way to stop the appeal while it is being processed, so please ensure ALL information is correct.
