The second installment of Cook County property tax bills will be mailed in late June and should be due August 1, according to a news release from Oak Park Township.
Oak Park Township Assessor Ali ElSaffar said in the release 2013 is the second consecutive year that tax bills will have a mid-summer due date.
While taxpayers have seen due dates as late as December 13 in recent years, state law mandates that second installment tax bills in Cook County be paid by August 1, according to the release.
“Last year’s early due date was not a fluke,” ElSaffar said. "I expect that second installment tax bills will have due dates of August 1 for the foreseeable future.”
When the tax bills are issued, the Oak Park Township Assessor’s office will be available to help taxpayers address any problems with their bills, according to the release.
Taxpayers can call the township at (708) 383-8005 for assistance.
