Buffalo, New York Independent document preparation service

Appeal Packets

Property tax appeal packets, prepared for the owner to file

Est. 2026, Buffalo, New York

A private document preparation service. Not the Cook County Assessor’s Office, not the Cook County Board of Review, not a law firm, and not legal advice.

Property tax appeals, paperwork prepared

Your county raised your home’s value. The sales nearby say otherwise. We prepare the packet that shows it.

Most homeowners never appeal their property tax assessment, because the paperwork is the hard part. We do the paperwork: your assessment record, the comparable sales laid out plainly, and the county appeal form filled in from the county’s own records. You review it, sign it, and file it. One flat price, $49.

Window open now: Rich Township, Cook County

The Assessor appeal deadline for Rich Township is December 4, 2026. See the Rich Township page.

01

What a packet holds

  • Your assessment record. What the county has on file for your home, the current assessed value, and the market value the county is using.
  • Comparable sales, laid out plainly. Recent sales of similar homes near yours, with address, sale date, sale price, size, and lot facts, and a short note on each one.
  • The appeal form, filled in. The county’s appeal entries completed from the county’s records, ready for you to check, sign, and submit.
  • Filing instructions. The county’s online appeal, step by step, in plain words.

Every figure in the packet traces to the county’s own records and to recorded sales. The packet shows its working.

How it works

1
Order on your township’s page. Enter your property address and PIN and pay the $49. That starts the job, and your payment is recorded even before you finish the short property form that follows.
2
We pull the record and score the case. The same day, we pull your assessment and the recent sales of similar homes nearby. If the sales support a lower value, we build your packet. If they do not, we refund your $49 in full and tell you what the sales showed.
3
You sign and file. Your packet arrives as a PDF by email, within two business days and always at least seven days before your deadline. You check it, sign, and file through the county’s online appeal, following the instructions inside. Filing with the county is free.

The honest parts, stated up front

We prepare; you file. We never sign for you, never file in your name, never speak for you to the county, and never attend hearings. If you need someone to represent you, that is a different service, and we will say so plainly.

Weak evidence means a refund, not a packet. If the comparable sales do not support a value below the county’s, we refund the $49 in full instead of selling you a packet the evidence does not back. That is the rule on every order.

No outcomes are promised. The Assessor decides each appeal on the whole file. A lower assessed value generally means a lower tax bill, but the amount depends on tax rates and exemptions set later, so no honest service can name a saving in advance. This one does not.

04

After the appeal: monitoring, $19 a year

Assessments change again next cycle. Monitoring watches your home’s assessment record and alerts you when the assessed value changes and before each appeal deadline that applies to your home. It is optional, it is sold only on the monitoring page with its renewal terms stated in full before you agree, and it is never bundled into a packet order without your say.
