Lake County Property Assessment Appeal Process

The first step in the Appeal Process is to visit the local township office:

• Moraine Township Assessor's Office, Cynthia Plouche, CIAO Assessor, 777 Central Ave. Highland Park IL 60035, 847/432-2100
• West Deerfield Township Assessor's Office, Thomas Healy, CIAO Assessor, 601 Deerfield Rd., Deerfield IL 60015, 847/945-3020

If the appeal cannot be settled by the township assessor, you can appeal to the Lake County Board of Review & Appeal which accepts appeals under Section III of the Board's Rules. You may file your appeal online. Need help with the appeal process? Visit one of the Tax Assessment Help Centers.
