Salesforce and Pappas Team Up
No need to come to the office. Apply online for $79
million in refunds and $44 million in missing Cook
County property tax exemptions
Taxpayers seeking property tax refunds will have new tools on cookcountytreasurer.com
enabling them to file electronically instead of downloading a form and mailing it in, Cook
County Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.
“Filing for refunds just became easier, and for good reason,” Pappas said. “Because of
the pandemic, the new normal may be that people can’t visit government offices to submit
documents or get answers to questions about their tax bill in person. So, we’ll let them
‘visit’ from home.”
Pappas asked consulting firm Applications Software Technology LLC (AST) to integrate
Salesforce customer relationship management (CRM) software with the website to
streamline the process of applying for refunds caused by overpayments and missing
property tax exemptions. Taxpayers can now search for refunds by property address and
select the application button to submit their claim.
The system also allows taxpayers to submit supporting documentation, if necessary.
Eliminating paper applications will shave one week off the time it takes the Office to issue
refunds due to overpayments, reducing processing to three to five weeks, Pappas said.
About 16,000 paper applications are mailed each year.
Pappas also overhauled her CRM system, which the office developed in 2001, so that
information about refund applications and other inquiries about property taxes is
contained in a single database.
“Our CRM system was ahead of its time then,” Pappas said. “Now we go to the next level
of efficiency.”

Pappas: Pay Cook County property taxes through October 1 with no penalty
Second Installment Cook County property tax bills are due August 3, 2020, but property owners have two extra months to pay without a late fee, Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.

Property owners can pay the Second Installment without a late fee through October 1.

Treasurer Maria Pappas and ABC 7 Chicago will host “Black and Latino Houses Matter” on March 11, 2021, a phone bank to help Cook County homeowners find refunds, apply for property tax exemptions and avoid the Tax Sale, Pappas said today.
“I am grateful to ABC 7 for participating in my program to return money to taxpayers and prevent them from losing their homes because of unpaid taxes,” Pappas said. “While the Tax Sale
disproportionately impacts Black and Latino homeowners, all Cook County homeowners are welcome to call the phone bank.” John Idler, President and General Manager of ABC 7 Chicago, said: “It’s gratifying to join forces with the Treasurer’s Office to help Cook County homeowners get much needed information and resources, especially in Black and Latino communities hardest hit by the pandemic. The phone bank will go a long way to provide struggling homeowners assistance and reaffirms that working
together to help our community makes us all stronger.”
Here are the phone bank details:
Date: March 11, 2021
Time: 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Phone Number: 312.603.5105
Samantha Chatman, a consumer investigative reporter with ABC 7’s I-Team, will report on the
phone bank during the station’s newscasts. A team from the Treasurer’s Office, fluent in Spanish,
Polish, Chinese and English, will:
• Search $76 million in available property tax refunds
• Check if you are eligible for $46 million in missing tax exemptions
• Verify if your property is on the Tax Sale list with delinquent taxes

On May 12, 2022, Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas will begin
the sale of unpaid 2019 property taxes that were originally due in

Property owners can avoid the Annual Tax Sale by paying the
delinquent taxes and interest before the sale begins.
• To see if your taxes are delinquent – and to make a payment
– visit cookcountytreasurer.com and select “Avoid the Tax
Sales.” You can search by address or by Property Index
Number.
• About $219 million in unpaid 2019 property taxes is due on
44,741 homes, businesses and land.
“Unpaid taxes are found in all communities, but almost 79% of the
taxes offered for sale are for properties in Black and Latino
communities,” Pappas said.
“Property owners should visit cookcountytreasurer.com to see if
they are receiving all possible exemptions to pay only what they
owe,” Pappas said.
Tax buyers interested in participating in the sale should visit
cooktaxsale.com to register for the sale or purchase a list of
properties with delinquent taxes. Registration will be open from
March 25 to May 2, 2022.

Cook County property owners have no need to wait for their next property tax bills to arrive in the mail to find out how much they will owe by the March 1 due date, Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.
Taxpayers can visit cookcountytreasurer.com to view, download and prepay their First Installment 2023 property tax bills.
Property tax bills are divided into two annual installments. The First Installment, which is 55 percent of the previous year’s total tax, is due March 1, 2024. By providing an early look at the bills, property owners can plan their finances or make payments before the end of the year.
“A lot of bills come due after the holidays,” Pappas said. “By posting First Installment bills online months before they are due or even mailed we strive to help people manage their household budgets and plan accordingly.”
The Treasurer’s Office expects to mail First Installment 2023 bills to owners of about 1.7 million properties around Feb. 1.
