While you are in our office appealing, we will make sure you are receiving all the exemptions you are entitled to. We will also check if you are entitled to any refunds for prior years.

We are still doing our “Socks for our Servicemen” initiative. New socks donated will be taken to the annual Winter Standown held on the northside of Chicago. I volunteered in my first Standown a few years ago and it left a great impression, especially as a son of a Vietnam Veteran. Since, the first Standown in 1993, this 3-day event has provided medical services, housing opportunities, employment assistance, food, clothing, and a chance to rest and relax for our veterans. This event is geared toward the hundreds of homeless veterans and veterans that need a helping hand. So, when you stop by, please drop off a brand new pair of socks if you can, thank you in advance.
For questions or concerns regarding your property taxes please don’t hesitate to give us a call at (708)788-6600, email us at [email protected], or visit us at our office located at the Berwyn Public Health District Building, 6600 W. 26th street, Berwyn, IL.
