PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Leslie Anderson
DOCKET NO.: 06-23994.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 18-04-310-012-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Leslie Anderson, the appellant, by attorney Rusty A. Payton of
the Law Offices of Rusty A. Payton, P.C., Chicago, Illinois; and
the Cook County Board of Review.
The subject property is a 117-year old, two-story style dwelling
of frame construction containing 2,420 square feet of living area
with a full, unfinished basement.
The appellant’s appeal is based on unequal treatment in the
assessment process. The appellant submitted for consideration
four comparable properties described as two-story frame dwellings
that are between 103 and 127 years old. On the appellant’s map,
one of the comparables is located in the same block as the
subject, and the others are three to five blocks from the
subject. The comparables contain from 2,209 to 2,950 square feet
of living area and have improvement assessments ranging from
$10.21 to $16.22 per square foot. The subject’s improvement
assessment is $20.98 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.
The board of review presented four comparable properties
consisting of two-story frame dwellings that are between 95 and
114 years old. Based on their parcel index numbers, the
comparables are located near the subject property. The dwellings
contain from 2,246 to 2,447 square feet of living area and have
improvement assessments ranging from $21.05 to $21.88 per square
foot. Based on this evidence, the board of review requested
confirmation of the subject's assessment.
