HOA & Condo Association Property Tax Appeals
Since 2015, KSN has worked diligently to save our clients over $300 million in reduced Illinois property tax assessments.
In Illinois, condominium, homeowner, and townhome associations can benefit from having an experienced attorney guide board members and community managers through the property tax appeal process. Appeals take planning and careful review, and they may go through different agencies or stages, each with its own rules and potential challenges.
Our property tax appeal services include:
- Condominium association property tax appeals
- Homeowner association (HOA) property tax appeals
- Townhome association property tax appeals
- Cooperative (co-op) property tax appeals
- Master association property tax appeals
Factors involved in community association property tax appeals:
- Number of homes/condo units in the building
- How the space is divided between living units, common areas, and amenities
- The number of homes/condo units in the building that are currently being rented
- Condition of the condominium building
- Sales of similar homes/condo units
Why should your association appeal as a group?
A group appeal is where all (or many) of an association’s units file a single property tax appeal. Illinois law allows a community association’s boards to file a single appeal on behalf all the association’s unit owners.
Associations should appeal as a group for several reasons.
- First and foremost, County Assessors prefer one appeal, over dozens, or even hundreds, of owners filing separately. It’s administratively easier to process and the favored method.
- Second, the County Assessors place a single value on the entire building or development and reviewing that value is facilitated by an appeal including all units.
- Third, the County Assessor has a duty to uniformly assess all units within an association. The group appeal enables the County Assessor to meet this obligation.
KSN offers skillful Illinois community association and residential tax appeals at a reasonable cost.
Since 2015, we’ve saved our clients over $300 million in reduced property tax assessments. KSN’s experienced attorneys and legal professionals are well-versed with local and Illinois property tax laws, procedures, and policies.
Our law firm represents Illinois property owners throughout the entire appeal process. Unless you represent yourself, only an attorney can appear before the Board of Review, the Property Tax Appeal Board, and the Circuit Court. This increases our clients’ chances of a successful result.
KSN works on a contingency fee basis. What does that mean?
Unlike some competitors, our law firm does not charge a processing fee. Our clients do not pay a legal fee unless we are able to successfully reduce their property tax assessment.
