County-wide, homeowners filing alone won 57.6% of residential appeals versus 38.9% for attorney-filed ones. Computed 2026-11-03 from the Board of Review's decision data (classes 200-299, "won" = Board value below the Assessor's certified value). Averages include appeals that got no change. An assessed-value cut of $1,000 is roughly $242 to $424 a year off a suburban bill.

What to do

  1. Run the free check above. It compares your assessed value per square foot with similar homes in your assessment neighborhood.
  2. If yours looks high, get the evidence kit from the result page: the comps in the Board's format, recent sales, and a statement to paste into the form.
  3. File online at the office whose window is open. Filing is free at both. You type the complaint yourself; only you or an Illinois attorney can file for your home.
  4. Leave an email on the result page and we'll remind you a week and three days before the deadline.
