PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Thomas Jensen
DOCKET NO.: 06-22690.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 02-14-305-017-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Thomas Jensen, the appellant, by attorney Julie Realmuto of McCarthy & Duffy, Chicago, Illinois; and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property consists of a 57-year old, one-story style dwelling of frame construction containing 884 square feet of living area with a partial, unfinished basement and a one and one-half 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 comparable properties. The appellant's map indicates the comparables are located approximately one and one-half miles from the subject. The comparables are one-story frame dwellings that are from 52 to 64 years old. The comparables contain from 668 to 888 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from $7.87 to $10.66 per square foot. The subject property has an improvement assessment of $15.56 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 three suggested comparable properties. Their permanent parcel index numbers indicate the comparables are located in close proximity of the subject. The comparable properties consist of one-story frame dwellings that are 57 years old. The dwellings contain 884 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments of $18.80 per square foot. Based on this evidence, the board of review requested confirmation of the subject's assessment.
