Attention City of Chicago Residents.....
Homeowners who have a principal residence in the City of Chicago may be eligible for some tax relief.
Have you seen an increase in your property taxes from tax year 2007 to tax year 2008?
Is the increase more than $50?
Is your income is less than $200,000?
If you have answered "YES" to these three basic questions, you may qualify.
A few quick tips to get you started. Obtain a copy of your 2007 and 2008 tax bill (second installment), a copy of your 2008 federal income tax form 1040, and a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID reflecting the property address (Driver's License or State ID Card).
The City of Chicago has created a link with instructions and all the tools you will need, including the application, to apply for your tax relief. Click below to be directed to the home page.
