PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Harry Lowrance
DOCKET NO.: 05-27661.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 11-20-100-008-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Harry Lowrance, the appellant; and the Cook County Board of
Review.
The subject property is an owner occupied residence that was the
subject matter of an appeal before the Property Tax Appeal Board
the prior year under docket number 04-20505.001-R-1. In that
appeal the Property Tax Appeal Board rendered a decision lowering
the assessment of the subject property based on the evidence
submitted by the parties.
Section 16-185 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/16-185)
provides in part:
"If the Property Tax Appeal Board renders a decision
lowering the assessment of a particular parcel on which
a residence occupied by the owner is situated, such
reduced assessment, subject to equalization, shall
remain in effect for the remainder of the general
assessment period as provided in Sections 9-215 through
9-225, unless that parcel is subsequently sold in an
arm's length transaction establishing a fair cash value
for the parcel that is different from the fair cash
value on which the Board's assessment is based, or
unless the decision of the Property Tax Appeal Board is
reversed or modified upon review."
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 Board further
finds that the prior year's decision should be carried forward to
the subsequent year subject only to any equalization factor
