2025 Maine Township Board of Review – Second Opportunity to Appeal

If you received a decision letter from the Cook County Assessor and are not satisfied with the outcome, you now have a second opportunity to file an appeal with the Cook County Board of Review.

 Deadline to File with Maine Township: October 16, 2025

⚠️ Don’t wait until the last minute!

Please note: Maine Township’s filing deadline of October 16, 2025 is earlier than the official Cook County Board of Review deadline of October 21, 2025.

This strict township deadline ensures that all appeals submitted to our office can be processed on time.

How to Request Our Help with an Appeal

✅ Option 1: Complete the Appeal Request Form (Preferred Method)

  • Download and complete the Maine Township Intake Appeal Request Form. This form will be available on our website once the 2026 appeal period opens. 
  • Or, pick up a hard copy from the mailbox outside the building (across from the main entrance). Return the completed form to the grey mailbox next to the forms.

📞 Option 2: Call Our Office

  • If you cannot download or complete the form, leave a voicemail at 224-257-4830.
  • Be sure to include:
    • Your name, address, phone number
    • Property Index Number (PIN)
    • Email address
    • Brief description of your request
  • Do not call more than once. Due to high call volume, repeat messages slow down response times.

  • Hire an Attorney: You may also hire an attorney to assist you with the appeal process.

Condominium Owners – Important Notice

Maine Township is unable to file appeals for condominiums because we do not receive the necessary data from the Cook County Assessor’s Office.

We strongly recommend contacting your condominium association, as they may coordinate a group appeal or advise you on next steps.
