Track record
What owners told us happened after they used a Dear Assessor appeal packet. These are historical facts reported by owners, not predictions or promises, and appeals that did not get a reduction are included.
Reported by Dear Assessor owners, by township
No results have been reported yet.
This page fills in as owners tell us how their appeals turned out. Until there are reports, the only history we can point to is the public Board of Review record below.
Public Board of Review history (not Dear Assessor customers)
For context only: all residential appeals decided by the Cook County Board of Review in these launch townships, from the county's open data. These are not our customers and say nothing about how any one appeal will turn out.
