Appealing Your Assessment in Lake County

If you're like me, you paid your property taxes this week and your pocketbook is feeling a lot lighter. This is a good time to remind everyone about our friends at the Citizens Action Project. Here's what they have to say in their latest press release:

"As we do every year, Citizens Action Project releases a "do-it-yourself guide" to lowering property assessments in Lake County. This is based upon exhaustive discussions we have with township assessors, board of review, and the chief county assessor to gauge how best citizens can appeal. This year, we created a free multimedia presentation. It is available on facebook, or for those who are not on facebook, our blog. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have."

They have also a new video you can watch ...

I've met people who have appealed their property taxes and had their assessments lowered, many times. This really works!
