More than 7,600 suburban Cook County property owners are in line for property tax refunds.
Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas said the refunds started showing up in property owners’ bank accounts today.
The refunds are due to property owners whose first installment payments exceeded what they owed in the second installment due Aug. 1. This is largely a result of new homeowner and senior exemptions being applied to tax bills or because of successful assessment appeals, officials in Pappas’ office said.
Data from Pappas’ office revealed that Barrington and Barrington Hills property owners are due for some of the largest refunds on average. In Barrington, 10 properties average a refund of $14,079. In Barrington Hills, the average refund for seven property owners is $13,649.
