PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Leona Roen
DOCKET NO.: 06-21691.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 09-12-302-005-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Leona Roen, the appellant, by attorney Julie Realmuto of McCarthy & Duffy, Chicago, Illinois; and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property is improved with a 50-year old, one-story style dwelling of frame and masonry construction containing 1,844 square feet of living area with a partial, unfinished basement, central air conditioning, and a two and one-half car detached garage.
The appellant’s appeal is based on unequal treatment in the assessment process. The appellant submitted information on six comparable properties. On the grid analysis, four are described as one or one and one-half story frame or frame and masonry dwellings that range in age from 47 to 95 years old. Two comparables had no detailed description provided other than classification and neighborhood codes, size, and improvement assessment. The six comparable dwellings range in size from 1,966 to 2,211 square feet of living area. These properties have improvement assessments ranging from $12.68 to $13.30 per square foot of living area. The subject’s improvement assessment is $15.42 per square foot of living area. Based on this evidence, the appellant requested a reduction in the subject's improvement assessment.
The board of review submitted its "Board of Review Notes on Appeal" wherein the subject's final assessment was disclosed. The board of review presented descriptions and assessment information on four comparable properties consisting of one-story frame and masonry dwellings that range in age from 36 to 42 years old. The dwellings range in size from 1,805 to 1,902 square feet of living area. These properties have improvement assessments ranging from $15.76 to $17.51 per square foot of living area. Based on this evidence, the board of review requested confirmation of the subject's assessment.
