Services
Founded in 2016 with offices at 16 West Ontario Street in Chicago, Property Tax Solutions has evolved into one of Cook County's premier property tax law firms, receiving a Better Business Bureau A+ Award in 2018. Our only business is Cook County property taxes. We are driven by quality and integrity to obtain the lowest property taxes allowed by Illinois law.
Property Tax Solutions gained its footing in the residential market and then broadened to commercial, industrial and condominium buildings. Cook County residential properties include single-family homes up to six units; larger condominiums and townhomes have their own unique classes. The Illinois Constitution requires that properties of comparable size, age, construction and characteristics, be similarly assessed.
We listened to what our clients were saying. You wanted more information, quicker responses, status updates-a more interactive property tax appeal experience. Our new PTS client portal provides this and more. To save money. Your neighborhood's official assessment information is like an ocean of potential arguments to lower your taxes.
A Cook County property tax appeal is a formal request by an owner to challenge official taxing bodies for a reduction in assessed valuation or to make a change in the Assessor's property records. Cook County Assessor's Office - The primary function of the Assessor, an elected official, is to assess each of the County's 1.8 million properties at a fair and equitable market value.
The bottom line: Your taxes will be less than they would have been without an appeal for that year. Valuations generally remain in effect until your property's next Triennial Reassessment or after another winning appeal. An assessed valuation is equal to 10% of the Cook County Assessor's estimated market value for a residential property and 25% of a commercial or industrial property.

I have always found PTI to be most efficient and accurate in the work they have done for me over the years. They anticipate issues that need to be addressed before they become a problem and communications are always responded to quickly. A very good organisation

My experience with Property Tax Solutions was positive and seamless. I received an envelope full of filled in documents and an estimate of what Property Tax Solutions estimated they could save me on my property taxes. They quoted me an annual savings of $353 dollars and after reading through their brochure I was assured that if they were unable to lower my current assessment I wouldn't be charged and if they were their fee would be 50% of my first year's savings. This was stated a handful of times on just about every document in the envelope so it was very clear to me what my fee would

They send out pre filled out government forms with your property info without any request for the or their services. Sending out these forms can lead to consumer fraud! People are rude when you call their office to have them removed from there mailing list.
I would not trust them!
Do it yourself and save money!
You do not need a lawyer to do the same thing they do!

I hired Property Tax Solutions to help reduce my property taxes. They sent me a notice telling me they were able to reduce my taxes by $1004.00, I sent them a check for $502.00. My property taxes actually went up considerably, I think this was a scam. I've tried to call them at 312-448-9992 but always get their voicemail, I've tried to leave a message but the voicemail cuts off too quick.

We were contacted by PTS in 2016. We were paying outrageous property taxes. We did not hear anything from them until about five months later when we got a bill for approximately $2,500.00.
We checked our property tax on line and found that they had saved us a substantial amount on our property taxes. We then called them to thank them.
This was a check we wrote with a smile on our face. We are more than confident that they will represent us with enthusiasm and integrity. We believe if you hire them that you will be glad you did.

Unfortunately, Property Tax Solutions did not due their due diligence. They sent out incorrect information about my township, and then sent out an apology letter which I received one day after the appeal deadline with the county had closed. Their data glitch and communication about it was a huge error, and I am not sure how it can be made right at this point. If this is the only thing that they do, they should be sure and do it correctly. If they have a way to redeem the error, I am open to rewriting my review.

I have used Property Tax Solutions and can attest they do excellent work. Greg was persistent on having my property fairly appraised and taxed. The firm is honest on their claims and pricing.
I have used other firms that claimed my taxes were higher than their research showed and they would safe me a specific amount. They charged upfront to file the claim and produced no results. The insult was a post card the following year (which they send to millions) with the same claim soliciting my business with the same upfront fee and saving figure.

The service was completed, but done at an astronmical price. I should have done more research last year, my bad. I did not keep the paperwork that I signed. I think I would have avoided signing it, if I had known they were going to take and arm and a first child for this service. They took 50% of my first years savings. Imagine writing a check for $600 so I can save $1200 on my property taxes next year. Complete rip off, not that I am doing the research I am finding other companies at 25%.
I will take the rest of my other properties elsewhere, and I would suggest you do as well.

I received a call from Curtis at Property Tax Solutions. Curtis apologized profusely for dropping the ball in regards to my situation. He explained what happened and owned up to the failure of communication! Reaching out to me goes along way when you know the call might not be pleasant. These guys will make it right and will I use them again!! If you have an issue with this company, reach out to them. They work hard for your approval and strive for 100% satisfaction.

Total scam. I also fell for their marketing materials and signed up with them for the past triennial. I had always done my own tax protest - which is not hard to do - but thought I would see what they could do. They managed to get a minor reduction, I paid their fee and that was that. Wrong! Several months later I find out that they sell off their clients to other low life tax firms who then came after me for the fee I had already paid to Property Tax Solutions. I had to present proof of payment, etc. which I was able to do but this other firm hounded me for days. Calling me constantly with

These guys are the real deal. When I received their materials in the mail I was highly skeptical. The prior year - which was the triennial assessment year - I had submitted an appeal to the Board of Review on my own and already received a very large decrease in assessed valuation which I was satisfied with. This was after the Cook County Assessor declined my appeal to them. I read PTC's material VERY carefully. It was straightforward and I saw no potential pitfalls. They do NOT charge any fees up front. So I had nothing to lose and if successful I might save a little more money. I checked

This was my first time using an attorney that contacted me via postal mail. Was a little hesitant at first since I am sure they send out thousands of these mailers and didn't know if I would get great one on one service, but everything worked out just fine. I submitted online my agreement and gave them a call a few weeks later to confirm they got it and they acknowledged that they did and that was that. I waited about four months to see if I got a reduction in my taxes and they did. I saved about $600 on my following year tax bill. Per their agreement you pay them 50% of the savings, so

Received via USPS a brochure claiming they could reduce property taxes. I needed to fax my information to them before the December 8, 2015 deadline. Over 2 months later I have yet to hear any word from them and I missed the deadline to file for an appeal because I left it up to them to do so. I checked on line at the assessor's office and there is no appeal listed for my address. As a senior citizen I am very disappointed that I received no assistance in this matter and no reply from this company which claims to be a BBB Accredited A+ business.
