From Northfield Township: Property Tax Exemptions 2024 Applications Now Available

Property Tax Exemptions 2024 Applications Now Available
Property tax exemption applications for 2024 (property taxes paid in 2025) are now available online at: cookcountyassessor.com/exemptions. Property tax exemptions appear on your second installment property tax bill.

The Cook County Assessor’s Office administers property tax exemptions that may contribute to lowering your property tax bill. Exemptions reduce the equalized assessed value (EAV) or taxed value of a home.

Homeowner Exemption and Senior Exemption (65 or older) will continue to automatically renew this year. If you had either of these exemptions in 2023, they should auto-renew unless notified.

Low-Income Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze (65 or older and 2023 gross household income $65,000 or less), homeowners must re-apply each year. If you had the “Senior Freeze” last year, you should receive a renewal application within the next few weeks.

Persons with Disabilities, Veteran's with Disabilities, World War II Veteran's (new in 2024) and other exemptions all have their own rules for applying and renewing.

For a complete list of exemptions and qualifications you can visit: cookcountyassessor.com/exemptions.
