PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Paul Johnson
DOCKET NO.: 05-24066.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 05-20-117-019
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Paul Johnson, the appellant, by attorney Julie Realmuto of McCarthy & Duffy, Chicago, Illinois; and the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property is improved with an 81-year old, two-story dwelling of frame construction containing 2,032 square feet of living area and a full, finished basement.
The appellant's appeal is based on unequal treatment in the assessment process. The appellant submitted information on three comparable properties described as two-story, frame or stucco dwellings that range in age from 90 to 95 years old for consideration. The comparables range in size from 1,527 to 2,128 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from $11.64 to $19.11 per square foot of living area. The subject's improvement assessment is $23.15 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 three comparable properties consisting of two-story, frame dwellings that range in age from 78 to 81 years old. The dwellings range in size from 1,870 to 2,198 square feet of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from $23.15 to $26.19 per square foot of living area. 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 parties and the subject matter of this appeal. The Board further finds a reduction in the subject's assessment is not warranted.
