PROPERTY TAX APPEAL BOARD'S DECISION
APPELLANT: Bette Miller
DOCKET NO.: 03-27100.001-R-1
PARCEL NO.: 18-33-327-015-0000
The parties of record before the Property Tax Appeal Board are
Bette Miller, 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 a 48-year old, one-story
dwelling of frame construction containing 1,048 square feet of
living area with a full, unfinished basement, central air
conditioning, and a one car attached 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 one-quarter to one-half of a mile from
the subject. The comparables are one-story frame dwellings that
are 48 to 73 years old. One comparable has an unfinished
basement and three comparables have no basements. Their living
areas are from 1,140 to 1,252 square feet in size, and have
improvement assessments of $7.83 to $8.98 per square foot. The
subject property has an improvement assessment of $12.57 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

the property characteristic sheets and a spreadsheet detailing
four suggested comparable properties. Three comparables are
located on the same block as the subject and one comparable is in
close proximity to the subject. The comparable properties
