Cook County tax bills going out on time in July, officials say

After two years of significant delays blamed on the COVID-19 pandemic and technological problems, the second installment of Cook County property tax bills for Tax Year 2023 will be issued on time next month, officials announced Monday.

Nearly 1.8 million tax bills will be accessible online by July 2 and mailed out early in the month, with a due date of Aug. 1, county officials said.

It’s a notable change from the past years. Because of delays calculating and issuing bills, second installment bills last year weren’t mailed until November and due until Dec. 1. In 2022, second installment bills didn’t come due until Dec. 30.

Officials called the timely release and restoration of the billing cycle outlined under state law “a significant milestone.”

They credited collaborative efforts of among elected officials and the Property Tax Reform Group for restoring the billing schedule. The group includes officials from the county assessor’s office, county clerk’s office, Cook County Board of Review and county treasurer’s office.
