FREE MONEY! Many Cook County residents do not take advantage or are unaware of the homeowners (and/or senior) exemption. In short, if you are an owner-occupant (your primary residence) you are eligible for a homeowner exemption. This exemption will provide you with a discount and/or refund from your real estate tax bill. This savings can be significant and is very easy to apply and qualify for.
If you have not applied for your "homeowner/senior" exemption, you may file a "certificate of error application." YOU MAY FILE FOR A CREDIT FOR UP TO 3 YEARS
To reclaim what is yours, go to: http://www.cookcountyassessor.com/info/forms.asp#Select and scroll down to "exemptions."
You will also find exemptions for: Disabled, Veterans, Home Improvement and Senior Citizen
