  • Report Tells the Story of How Our Reassessments Unfolded in the North and Northwest Suburbs in 2019
    Letter from Assessor Fritz Kaegi Thank you for your interest in our assessment system. While the 2019 north suburban reassessment may be in the rearview mirror for most, the property tax cycle actually lasts 18 months. Now that we have a full view of the outcomes, we can explain not only how the property tax system works, but also how we are working to improve it. This report tells the story of how our reassessments unfolded in the north and northwest suburbs in 2019. Along the way, we provide data and explain some of the complexities of our property tax system. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since I came into office, it’s that most people—even policymakers and major real estate participants—have an imperfect understanding of how the system works. By providing a detailed explanation, we hope to illuminate the system so the 5.2 million people who live and work in Cook County can better understand it. Cook County’s property tax system is interconnected. If one property’s assessed value is too low, while others are accurate reflections of the market, then that property owner can pay less than their fair share of property taxes – forcing their neighbors to pick up the tab. Distortions like this can hurt the average home or business owner. In some places, these distortions could cost the average homeowner more than $1000 a year in additional property taxes. Not only can this destroy wealth by diminishing the market value of property, but if it’s widespread then such a practice could lead to unfair taxes, which take millions or even tens of millions of dollars out of neighborhoods, increasing depopulation and vacancy in our communities.

C O M COOK COUNTY ASSESSOR'S OFFICE MEDIA GUIDE MESSAGE FROM THE ASSESSOR Dear Media Representative, I am pleased to provide you with the Cook County Assessor’s Office Media Guide. I hope this booklet provides you with valuable information and resources in your reporting, analysis, and beat coverage. Since beginning my term as Assessor, we have remained focused on creating a fair, ethical and transparent property tax system. Our office has worked to develop better models for assessments and improved the s ources of our data. We have also posted reports about our assessments publicly so taxpayers, appraising experts, and journalists, such as you, can independently check our work. More than ever, it’s important for an independent, vibrant, and free press to exist. Faith in our governmental institutions is only possible when citizens trust in them. Trust is only possible when citizens understand how government works and can see that elected officials deliver on their promises. All this is made possible through the work of journalists, writers, and analysts who can review and report on the inner workings of our office. I remain committed to an open dialogue with journalists, editorial boards, and commentators who hold me and my team accountable on our progress toward a more accurate, equitable, and transparent assessor’s office.

  • Corruption Report Cover.Psd
    Corruption Spikes in Illinois Anti-Corruption Report #13 February 22, 2021 Authored by Dick Simpson Marco Rosaire Rossi Thomas J. Gradel University of Illinois at Chicago Department of Political Science 1 The statistics do not completely reflect it, but 2019 was a highly explosive year, during which some of the most important political corruption in the history of Chicago and Illinois was exposed. Bombshell corruption news reports that year dethroned the city's most powerful alderman, upset Chicago's mayoral election campaign, torpedoed the most powerful and well-known candidate, and threatened the political existence of Speaker of the Illinois House of Representatives and Chairman of the State Democratic Party, Michael Madigan. Almost all of 2019's explosive corruption activity was not captured in the annual statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Criminal Division's Public Integrity Section because DOJ only reports federal public corruption convictions for the year the convictions occur.

Actual convictions take place at the end of the process, usually a year or more later.
