News and Events
Avoid the rush! Pay late property taxes now

Delinquency bills have been mailed to nearly 140,000 property owners who did not pay their taxes when the Second Installment was due August 1, 2017. That is about 8 percent of the 1.8 million bills issued by the Cook County Treasurer's Office.

The interest charge on past-due bills is 1.5 percent per month.

The auction for delinquent payments for Tax Year 2016 (payable in 2017) will be held on May 4, 2018, instead of December 4, 2017. The Legislature reversed a 2014 law that shortened the time between the second installment payment and the auction to just four months.

Tax Due Dates and Bill Schedule

The due date for the Tax Year 2016 First Installment was Wednesday, March 1, 2017.

In Cook County, the due date for the First Installment property taxes is always the first business day in March.  According to Illinois law, the First Installment taxes are 55% of the prior year's total tax (or 55% of the adjusted tax if an assessment certificate of error is certified by the previous November 30).

The due date for the Tax Year 2016 Second Installment was Tuesday, August 1, 2017.

The Second Installment due date may vary. This is because the Second Installment bill relies on the delivery of various sets of data by other state and county agencies. Unlike the First Installment bill, the Second Installment bill reflects the new assessed values, assessment appeals, exemptions, state equalization factor, and taxing-district tax rates.
