Assessor's Office Honored with National Association of Counties Achievement Award
“This award is a testament to our continued commitment to using modern tools to build transparency, trust, and educate stakeholders throughout the County,” said Assessor Fritz Kaegi. “Researchers and policymakers can use PTAXSIM to analyze the whole system of appeals, exemptions, and tax levies – an unprecedented resource for academics, journalists, and policymakers.”
Since its publication, PTAXSIM has been featured in a recorded talk for civic tech enthusiasts, received public suggestions for added data, used to produce five counterfactual analyses, and is currently in use by external policy researchers. The public can watch PTAXSIM in action on our YouTube channel.
PTAXSIM is an R package that can be downloaded here: www.cookcountyassessor.com/property-tax-simulator-tool. The CCAO Data Department welcomes questions at Assessor.Data@cookcountyil.gov.
