Assessor's Office

By statute, the Township Assessor is the Deputy to the Cook County Assessor and is under direction from that office. However, since the Township Assessor does not assess, this office is in the unique position of being able to assist taxpayers with assessed value complaints along with other services, such as filing exemptions. For more information, call 708-788-6601 or visit the https://berwyntownship.org/ 

Property Tax Appeals

The Township Assessor and its Deputy Assessors are here to help you and make your property tax appeal process as simple as possible. The Township is divided into neighborhoods, and your home is given a class code that is determined by the style of the house you live in. Our assessors will look for properties that are “comparable” to your home, and that are in the same neighborhood and class as your home in evaluating your appeal.
