PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Ronald Kutchek
DOCKET NO.: 05-24387.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 18-29-203-026-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Ronald Kutchek, 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 consists of two buildings situated on one
parcel. Building #1 is a 73-year old, one-story style dwelling
of frame construction containing 1,032 square feet of living area
with a slab foundation. Building #2 is an 81-year old, one-story
style dwelling of frame construction containing 342 square feet
of living area with a slab foundation.
The appellant’s appeal is based on unequal treatment in the
assessment process. The appellant submitted for consideration
four suggested comparable properties for building #1 but
submitted no evidence for building #2. On the appellant’s map,
the comparables are located from one-half to one mile from the
subject property. The comparables are described as one-story
frame or masonry dwellings that are between 44 and 53 years old.
The comparables contain from 1,148 to 1,286 square feet of living
area and have improvement assessments ranging from $14.64 to
$15.23 per square foot. According to the appellant, the
improvement assessment for building #1 is $19.93 per square foot
of living area, but that figure is based on the combined
improvement assessment for both buildings. 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 assessment was disclosed. The
board of review presented four comparable properties consisting
of one-story frame or masonry dwellings that are between 43 and
