Pappas: Nearly quarter million property owners must pay $1 billion in Cook County property taxes by October 1 to avoid late fees
More than 225,000 homeowners and businesspeople must pay $1 billion in Cook County property taxes by Thursday, October 1, 2020, to avoid hefty late fees, Treasurer Maria Pappas said.
“The two-month delay of late fees gave tens of thousands of homeowners and business people breathing room,” Pappas said.
The 225,330 properties with unpaid taxes include:
• 82,680 residential properties in Chicago that owe $168 million
• 13,186 commercial properties in Chicago that owe $248 million
• 83,741 residential properties in the suburbs that owe $243 million
• 11,968 commercial properties in the suburbs that owe $324 million
