Appeal Your Property Taxes

Taxpayers of Proviso Township can learn more about appealing their property taxes  at a seminar hosted by Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Dan Patlak, along with Proviso Township Assessor Steven J. Zawaski and Village of Westchester President Sam D. Pulia.

The Board hopes that the seminar will offer taxpayers the opportunity to seek relief on an unfair or inaccurate property tax assessment at a time when the economy is putting added pressures on home and business owners.

The hour-long session includes a presentation by Commissioner Patlak that explains how property taxes are calculated and the appeal procedure of the Board of Review. The event will end with a question and answer session followed by an opportunity for taxpayers to work with analysts from Commissioner Patlak’s staff to address their concerns and to receive assistance filing an appeal.
