Overview
- Bills cover about 1.8 million properties across Cook County.
- This marks the first full property-tax billing cycle completed on the new system after errors emerged during testing and recalculation.
- A $300 million zero-interest bridge-loan program was created for local governments, with records showing 19 taxing bodies received $23.2 million so far.
- Officials say they have begun clearing a backlog of certificates of error and other refunds that were paused during the transition.
