PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Robert Campin
DOCKET NO.: 04-23390.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 32-06-209-029-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are Robert Campin, 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 48-year old, two-story dwelling of frame and masonry construction containing 1,720 square feet of living area. Features of the home include a full basement with a finished recreation room, central air conditioning and a two-car detached garage.
The appellant's appeal is based on unequal treatment in the assessment process. In support of this argument the appellant submitted information on four comparable properties described as two-story frame and masonry dwellings that range in age from 48 to 54 years old for consideration. The comparables range in size from 1,484 to 1,993 square feet of living area. Three of the comparables have basements, one comparable has central air conditioning and one comparable has a fireplace. These properties have improvement assessments ranging from $5.67 to $5.81 per square foot of living area. The subject's improvement assessment is of $11,436 or $6.65 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 and masonry dwellings that were either 49 or 50 years old. The dwellings contained either 1,652 or 1,710 square feet of living area. Each comparable had a full basement with two being finished with a recreation room, each comparable had a fireplace and each comparable had either a one or two-car attached garage. These comparables have improvement assessments
