Cook County property tax officials announced today that second installment property tax bills for tax year 2023 will be available to property owners by July 2. 

The calculation and issuance of property tax bills involves a complex process coordinated among various local and county agencies and is conducted in two installments each year. 
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the process faced significant delays. 

The due date for the 2023 second installment was pushed back to Dec. 1 that year and the 2022 second installment was delayed until Dec. 30.

Nearly 1.8 million tax bills will be accessible online and mailed out in early July, with a due date of Aug. 1.

This year’s timely release marks a significant milestone, as the bill cycle returns to the schedule outlined by state statute. 

The return to the required schedule was facilitated by the Property Tax Reform Group,  which group meets weekly to develop strategies aimed at creating a more equitable, efficient and accessible property tax system for Cook County residents. 

The group includes officials from the Cook County Assessor’s Office, Cook County Clerk’s Office, Cook County Board of Review and Cook County Treasurer’s Office.
