APPELLANT: Anthony Kamin
DOCKET NO.: 04-25855.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 05-07-303-024-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Anthony Kamin, the appellant, by attorney Rusty A. Payton of the
Law Offices of Rusty A. Payton, P.C., Chicago, Illinois; and the
Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 16-year old, two-story
dwelling of frame construction containing 3,945 square feet of
living area with a partial, unfinished basement, a fireplace, and
a two car garage.
The appellant submitted evidence before the Property Tax Appeal
Board claiming unequal treatment in the assessment process as the
basis of the appeal. In support of the equity argument, the
appellant submitted a grid analysis detailing four suggested

subject. The comparables are two-story frame and masonry,
stucco, or masonry dwellings that are 1 to 52 years old with
central air conditioning and fireplaces. Three comparables have
full basements and one comparable has an unfinished basement.
Their living areas are from 3,989 to 4,748 square feet in size,

foot. The subject property has an improvement assessment of
$21.88 per square foot. Based on this evidence, the appellant
requested a reduction in the subject's improvement assessment.

the property characteristic sheets and a spreadsheet detailing
four suggested comparable properties located in the same tax
