River Forest property assessments

Cook County, Illinois — from the county's own assessment roll.

4,539parcels in River Forest
4,378with a published assessment
$70,258median assessed value
347above the local median

The typical parcel above the line carries $2,845 of assessed value more than the median for like-classified land in River Forest, where that median works out at about $2.07 per square foot of land.

A median has half of everything above it by definition, boards do not grant every uniformity claim, and being above a median is a ground to argue rather than proof of error. These are assessed values, not tax bills.

Deadline

30 days from the publication of your TOWNSHIP's assessment roll. Cook reassesses on a rolling three-year, township-by-township calendar, so your window depends on your township and not on the county. Confirm it against your own notice — a late filing cannot be cured.

How to check your own

Type your River Forest address and you get the verdict, the comparison and the arithmetic — free, without an account. If it says there is nothing there, it says so: roughly a third of properties get told not to file.
