Property tax bills owed by Cook County residents and business owners are once again landing in mailboxes months later than usual.
, and because of the rolling nature of the assessment and billing cycles countywide, officials predicted the situation would improve this year but would not yet return to normal.
“The COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a critical overhaul of the technological backbone of the system, has had a dramatic impact on the county’s property tax processes and timelines. County officials will continue to work closely with taxing bodies and property owners to keep them informed of key dates,” Preckwinkle’s office said in the Wednesday release announcing this year’s due dates.
The various offices responsible for property taxation — including a working group Preckwinkle convened — rushed last year to ensure bills would be due by Dec. 31 so property owners could have their payments deducted in their annual income tax filings.: Taxing bodies such as school districts, villages and libraries that counted on property tax receipts to fund operations had to wait several months — in some cases borrowing from the county to pay for ongoing operations — to receive funds.
