Senior Citizens Homestead Exemption The maximum amount of the reduction in equalized assessed value is $8,000 in Cook County and counties contiguous to Cook County or $5,000 in all other counties.
Cook County homeowners may reduce their tax bills by hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year by taking advantage of the Homeowner Exemption. Exemptions reduce the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of your home, which is multiplied by the tax rate to determine your tax bill.
For the 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 property tax years, Homeowners Exemption savings are equal to $10,000 multiplied by the homeowner's property tax rate. The exemption is prorated for newly constructed homes that are not ready for occupancy until sometime after January 1.
For residential property owners, the assessed value equals 10% of the fair market value of the home. For most commercial property owners, the assessed value is 25% of the fair market value. This level of assessed value is the taxable amount of the property, as determined by Cook County ordinance.
Property tax exemptions are provided for owners with the following situations: Homeowner Exemption. Senior Citizen Exemption. Senior Freeze Exemption. Longtime Homeowner Exemption. Home Improvement Exemption. Returning Veterans' Exemption. Disabled Veterans' Exemption. Disabled Persons' Exemption.

Please note the EAV is the partial value of the property to which tax rates are applied. It is the figure on which the tax bill is calculated. Property tax savings for a Homeowner Exemption are calculated by multiplying the Homeowner Exemption amount of $10,000 by your local tax rate.
