Radogno/Durkin/Sandack Host Property Tax Appeal Seminars

Do you wonder if you are paying too
much in property taxes?  Area state
lawmakers Christine Radogno, Jim Durkin and Ron Sandack will be hosting a
couple of FREE seminars on July 31, 2014 to help Lisle and Darien residents to
better understand their tax bill and how to appeal a property tax over
assessment.



“If you went into sticker shock when
you opened your property tax bill, and feel your property is being over
assessed – this is the seminar for you,” said Durkin.  “This seminar is very informative as we
reveal the mystery behind the process of how your property tax bill is
determined and how to appeal if you believe your assessment is too high.”



The first seminar will be held at
10:00 a.m. at the Lisle Township Tax Assessors Office, 4721 Indiana in
Lisle.   There will be a presentation explaining
how taxes are assessed and how property owners can seek an appeal.   Lisle
Assessor John Trowbridge will assist in the presentation.

Darien residents are encouraged to
attend the second seminar at 6:00 p.m. at the Darien Police Department, 1710
Plainfield Road in Darien.   Theresa
Cockrell, the Downers Grove Tax Assessor will assist with the Darien
presentation.   The Darien location is
limited to 43 participants, so if you are interested in attending you will have
to RSVP by calling Rep. Ron Sandack’s district office at 630-737-0504; or Jim
Durkin’s District office at 630-325-2028 or Senator Christine Radogno’s Office
at 630-243-0800.



“My office receives calls regularly
from constituents who believe their property assessments are too high,” said
Sandack. “I would encourage any resident who is concerned with their tax bill
to attend one of these informational sessions so they can learn how assessments
are determined and how they may appeal those assessments if they believe they
are too high.”
