- Cook County property tax bills skyrocketed for tens of thousands of residents this year, with increases up to 1000% for some. Here's how to appeal. abc7chicago.co...
Shameful!
Property taxes should have caps too!
No taxation without representation.
You do not get representation in IL, Crook County and Chicago. All are ruled by a single party regime like Communist China. The GOP does not exist in the land of Lincoln. Kinzinger and alike are Democrats by any policy standard.
They act like homelessness is not already a huge issue.
Robbery!
Property tax is more than my yearly income! I could not afford to live in Chicago. Nor would I ever want to live there. But If I did live in Chicago it would be me in a tent. Chicago fix this who is in charge over at that assessment office? No, it is not ok to tax old people out of homes they worked all their life to pay off only to have it stolen by the assessor's office.
That's why there so many abandon property's
That's why people are leaving crock county
Learn to spell or type before posting simplistic things.
leaving by force. How awful to work all your life to pay off a home to have the county steal it.
Just keep voting blue no matter who, money grows on trees just pay your taxes and quit your belly aching. 🦄 are real!
I'm a Texan, a very red state & property costs & taxes have skyrocketed here, as well.
This has to do with loss of industry & developers & 200 other things that have nothing to do with the Democratic Party.
@@volitionspark2686 as I roll my eyes
Southern IL receives more money from the state budget that was overwhelmingly paid by taxpayers from Cook County & Chicago
Bias take… some red states have this problem too
That’s what Democrats do
No that's what the American Dream does. Democrats, Republicans and beyond. This is how you kick businesses out of the State.
You mean I get to pay more money for less services?
Thx, Beetlejuice!
That's happening all over America & not the fault of Mayor Lightfoot
And you're going to at it
@@volitionspark2686 no, it's all those illegals flooding Chicago and having a new Progressive mayor doesn't help
Cook County overwhelmingly votes blue. They got what they asked for.
I'm from cook and I vote red.
@@citadelchase8858 Move to TX, help keep TX red. There’s no hope for these deep blue cities/counties….
@@RacecarSpelledBackwards71 Texas has been red and will remain red long before and after me. IL is a red state too, it's only Champaign Urbana and Chicago that vote blue and swing vote blue. Why should I abandon a state whose landmass is 95% red? Since when does Chicago control the whole state of IL?
@@citadelchase8858 You are seriously outnumbered by those who are insisting in equity, inclusion, and the voodoo magic evil coming from white people. They are getting what they asked for and will continue to vote blue at your expense.
@@michaeleng3682 Mike I get what you are saying, but if we all pack up and leave eventually we will have to pack up and leave the country. What do we do then?
Cook county taxing people away.
You voted democratic live with this tax increase. 😂😂😂🤣
It's preckwinkles crooked county.
They want the homeowners to leave and sell them to landlords who will charge 2k a month for tiny apartments. They don't want homeowners there. But the city will crumble
Same consequences this year as well. Gee I wonder who these people voted for????
This happened in 2017. i was told that most people fot 100% of increase and i got lucky it was only 37%
How many tax increases did those people vote for in the past ? . They've created a monster. I never vote for tax increases even if it will benefit me. The money will go 3x as far in the private sector. But special short term thinking interests love freebies.
Almost everybody in IL, Crook and Chicago vote Democrat, therefore vote for higher taxes. Anybody who vote blue has zero rigth to complaint.
Where does the money to help migrants comes from?
yes, where does that money come from? I can't imagine anyone new to this country able to afford 4000.00 or more for rent. Know Chicago is too rich for my income. just stunned here in Arkansas.
This falls on the governor and all you’re doing is moving companies and homeowners out of Illinois and Illinois is going to be another Detroit homeless
You guys voted for amendment 1 . Lol
What was amendment 1? Someone tell me. I do not live in this state. My nephew lives there he recently told me what he pays in property tax. I was shocked. He seems to take it in stride.
Who "undervalued" the property? Was it not the county assessor's office?
These places are no more valuable today than they were a couple years ago.
These "values" are increasing because our money is worth less.
We're going to have $1,000 bank notes again before too long, but we won't get rid of pennies, because that's all most of us will have.
New system is linked to Zillow and other home buyers and sellers sites. Another nail in the coffin for retirees and working class. Crook count predict 1 B in revenue. Somebody has to pay for illegals housing, welfare, phones, and 3K “ stipend” per month
Sounds like the Assessor's Office forgot a zero.
funny how america whines how "socialist" europe is
All the money is going to weird education practices such as learning about CRT and gender pronouns
Your point is
@@ajax7ox729 Are you that lame to have to ask that question ???
These assessors are super crooked. It's a racket!
Democrats have your back. And the deed to your home
LOL
and when you lose your home because of unpaid taxes, Democrats will GIVE your house to illegals so they have somewhere to live
All you have to do is move from Cook county. No reason to be there anyway.
I need help locating my property my name was removed and squatters return back in them
Croock assessors office ain't going to get back to you.. she is next to beettle juice
You voted for this ILLinois. The Governor was caught evading taxes and still voted for him.
Lol all politicians avoid taxes. Trump is in court right now for tax fraud
Thrives legal now?
In four years, Lori destroyed Chicago.
No. The economy & such lessened it. It's not nearly as bad as in the 1990s & you know it.
Crime has to be prevented & there are zero measures in place to do that. And perception is not reality.
It's what you voted for
Somebody has to pay for JB's illegal immigrants.
HOLA !!!
There are actually 160 nations nationals crossing the border. Say Hola in all of those languages. Hard working Latinos are the best immigrants you can ask for, for a country with shrinking demographics.
Who paid for DT's illegal immigrants ? Who paid for Obama's illegal immigrants ? etc.
Keep voting democat.
Pay your fair share.
It just shows how much money Cook County is leaving on the table. The lady with the $143 tax bill has been getting a steep discount on her property taxes for who knows how long. No wonder the county is broke.
Not really. Here in Texas & most states I know of people get an over 65 exemption or reduced rate.
The lady doesn't live in a prime area, her house isn't fancy, so she shouldn't pay enormous tax bills
You think the county assessors office has deliberately been undervaluing/discounting county property? Who's giving the discount? Who undervalued the property? The county is broke because of the stacks of welfare checks and rivers of social programs, including the failing management of sanctuary policies. Money doesn't actually grow on trees, this isn't the federal gov't here. Democrats are all about spending money, and outspending revenues. That's why the county is broke. They certainly are foolish, but not so foolish to leave money on the table, esp. when it comes to commercial real-estate.
She worked all her life to pay off that property. She lives on a limited income. Should all retirees move from their homes that took a lifetime to pay off? What is wrong with you @wanglelife your thinking is off in my opinion. Perhaps someone needs to control spending on the city budget. or is there a budget? Sounds like you do not worry about homelessness in your town.
@@volitionspark2686 Yes, Cook County has both a senior exemption as well as a homeowner's exemption. It's $8,000 and $10,000 off of the Equalized Assessed Value of the home, respectively.
According to the Cook County Assessor's Office FAQ, for a property that's worth $100,000 market value, The normal tax would be $2,339. With both Senior and Homeowners exemption applied, the owner still owes $899. It is still more than 6 times what this lady is paying.
@@Bobcat9 I don't think it's deliberate. I think the assessors office / treasurer's office, etc are severely understaffed and are working with very antiquated technology. From personal experience, it took me months to get a bill so that I could pay some taxes I owed them. That's with 3-4 calls to follow up.
What else do you expect from a democrat runshito.
