PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Dennis Claussen
DOCKET NO.: 05-24713.001-R-2 thru 05-24713.009-R-2
PARCEL NO.: 14-32-423-033-0000 thru 14-32-423-041-0000
TOWNSHIP: North
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB)
are Dennis Claussen, the appellant, by attorney Louis Capozzoli,
of Des Plaines, and the Cook County Board of Review (board).
The subject properties consist of nine vacant lots each
containing 2,400 square feet, fronting on Clybourn Avenue and
under a single ownership. The subject is located in North
Township, Cook County. The above nine properties in this appeal
were the subject of an appeal before the Property Tax Appeal
Board for the prior two years under Docket Nos. 04-27174.001-R-1
through 04-27174.009-R-1 and 03-27427.001-R-1 through 03-
27435.001-R-1. In those appeals, the Property Tax Appeal Board
reached decisions based upon equity and the weight of the
evidence in the record as presented by the parties to the appeal.
Pursuant to the Official Rules of the Property Tax Appeal Board,
evidence from both parties in support of their respective
opinions of the subject's market value as of the assessment date
or equity of the assessment was requested.
After reviewing the record and considering the evidence, the
Property Tax Appeal Board finds that it has jurisdiction over the
parties and the subject matter of this appeal. The Property Tax
Appeal Board finds from its analysis of the record that the
evidence in this appeal is no different from that of the prior
year. Since no new evidence was presented to warrant a change
from the previous year's decision, the Board finds that the
assessment as established in the prior year's appeal is
appropriate.
