  • Assessment and Appeal Information Directory
    ASSESSMENT AND APPEAL INFORMATION DIRECTORY Forward This publication is designed as a reference tool for the taxpayer who may have only a basic understanding of the property tax assessment and appeal processes in the State of Illinois. Taxpayers should refer to the county where their property is located as a starting point for answers to assessment and appeal questions. The functions of various county officials are generally the same in each county. Due to occasional changes in addresses and telephone numbers throughout the state's 102 counties, it is almost impossible to guarantee complete accuracy at all times. However, rest assured that the staff of the Property Tax Appeal Board has made every effort to verify the information contained in the booklet. To that end, we wish to acknowledge the sincere assistance received from county officials statewide. It was their cooperation and support that has made the Assessment and Appeal Information Directory possible. This publication is available at the Property Tax Appeal Board offices in Springfield and Des Plaines. If you notice any omissions or errors, please let us know immediately and we will correct our records. Table of Contents • INTRODUCTION o County Government o Supervisor of Assessments (County Assessor) o Board of Review o County Clerk o Treasurer (Collector) o Clerk of the Circuit Court o State’s Attorney o Property Tax Appeal Board o Department of Revenue • COUNTY LISTINGS (in alphabetical order) Introduction This section is intended as a basic overview of the various county and state offices and the various duties of the officials within the assessment cycle.

  • Kelly Cassidy State Representative for the 14 District
    Kelly Cassidy State Representative for the 14th District Kelly Cassidy is an American politician from Chicago. She is a Democrat and a member of the Illinois House of Representatives. She was selected to represent the 14th district, on Chicago's North Side, in April 2011 following incumbent Harry Osterman's election to the Chicago City Council. She was sworn-in on May 16, 2011 by Justice Mary Jane Theis of the Illinois Supreme Court. Cassidy is a longtime assistant in the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. She has served since 2001 as the director of programs and development for the state's attorney's office and, before that, worked as the office's legislative liaison. Previously, Cassidy had worked as the legislative director for the Chicago chapter of the National Organization for Women and once worked for state senate president John Cullerton, running his district office. Following state representative Harry Osterman's election as 48th ward alderman in February 2011, Cassidy was one of 23 candidates to seek appointment as his successor in the state house. The 14th district, which Osterman was vacating and Cassidy now represents, includes the neighborhoods of Edgewater, Andersonville and Rogers Park. Per Illinois law, the vacancy was filled by Democratic committeemen from the wards making up the district, their votes weighted to reflect the share of the district falling in each ward. Because more than half of the 14th district's voters live in Chicago's 48th ward, that ward's committeeman – former state senator Carol Ronen – cast more than half of the votes and could singlehandedly pick Osterman's successor.
