PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Kenneth Crowhurst
DOCKET NO.: 06-22161.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 14-18-131-002-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Kenneth Crowhurst, the appellant, by attorney Julie Realmuto of McCarthy & Duffy, Chicago, Illinois; and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 117-year old, two-story style dwelling of frame exterior construction containing 3,990 square feet of living area with a full, unfinished basement and a three-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 three suggested comparable properties. The comparables are two-story frame dwellings that are 103 or 113 years old. The comparables contain from 3,387 to 4,840 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from $9.00 to $10.09 per square foot. The subject property has an improvement assessment of $12.94 per square foot. 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. In support of the subject's assessment, the board of review offered the property characteristic sheets and a spreadsheet detailing four suggested comparable properties. The comparable properties consist of two-story frame dwellings that are from 98 to 113 years old. The dwellings contain from 3,676 to 3,872 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from $13.24 to $13.75 per square foot. Based on this evidence, the board of review requested confirmation of the subject's assessment.
After reviewing the record and considering the evidence, the Property Tax Appeal Board finds that it has jurisdiction over the
