Appeals

BLOOM TOWNSHIP is currently filing property tax appeals.  The last day to file an appeal is 7/26/2023.

We have extended our hours to accommodate all appeals.  We will be open until 7pm on Monday and Wednesday thru 7/26/2023.

Reassessment notices were mailed out June 23, 2023.  The notice contains details about your property, its current market value, and its assessed value. If your home's assessed value increased, it can be because property values in your area also increased in the three years since your neighborhood was last reassessed. We encourage all resident's of Bloom Township to file an appeal on the reassessment of their property.

All townships within Cook County have two opportunities each year to protest or appeal the assessed valuation on their property. 

Cook County Assessor’s Office

The first opportunity to file an appeal is through the Cook County Assessor’s Office, which establishes a yearly calendar to assign specific dates during which each township is open to file appeals. At the beginning of each tax year, the Assessor’s Office displays a tentative filing date for each township. As the year progresses, the calendar is updated to reflect the actual appeal filing period. A taxpayer may file an appeal only when the township filing period has been established. This filing period lasts approximately 30 days.

The appeals calendar is available on the County Assessor’s website, or taxpayers may call the County Assessor at 312-443-7550. Taxpayers may also call the Bloom Township Assessor’s Office at 708-754-9400 for more information.

Cook County Board of Review

The second opportunity to file an appeal is through the Cook County Board of Review. The Board of Review also publishes a yearly calendar to assign specific dates during which residents of each township may file appeals. This filing period also lasts approximately 30 days. The Board of Review calendar, however, is not updated until just prior to each township’s period to file appeals. This calendar may be viewed online or you may call the Board of Review at 312-603-5542 for appeal filing date information. Taxpayers may also call the Bloom Township Assessor’s Office at 708-754-9400 for more information.
