Greetings! 
 

Once a year, for 4 short weeks, property owners are able to appeal their property tax assessment.  A successful appeal will reduce your home or business' valuation and your 2013 tax bill should be reduced.  Is your property valued correctly?  Have you appealed?  The clock is ticking . . .

Never pay more than your fair share of property taxes.  You can forward this email to family and friends using the easy buttons on the left.  Enjoy the Thanksgiving Holiday!

Commercial Property Tax Appeals   

 

Sears Holding Corp. won approval by the state of Illinois in 2011 for millions of dollars in tax breaks for its headquarters in Hoffman Estates.  In order to do that, they had to maneuver through the very difficult, Cook County property assessment appeals system with a highly detailed presentation. 

 

It has often been recognized that some appeals fail because the presentation is not adequate.  Knowing exactly how to work through the appeals process and knowing what needs to be presented is crucial to a company's success in the appeals process.  K2 Consulting of IL has that knowledge, experience and expertise.

Client Testimonial 

 

"In 2011 we purchased our home as a short sale.  Karen handled our appeal and got the value adjusted to our purchase price.  We received money back from escrow AND saved almost $2,800 on our tax bill.  Thanks Karen!"
