Second Installment Cook County property tax bills are due August 3, 2020, but property owners have two extra months to pay without a late fee, Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.

"In my nearly 22 years as Treasurer, I've never told people not to pay their taxes," Pappas said. "But the pandemic has changed a lot of things. If you've lost your job and don't have the money, you do not have to pay until October 1, 2020."

Property owners can pay the Second Installment without a late fee through October 1.
