From search to filing, here is the whole journey — what happens at each step, what’s in your evidence packet, and exactly what we do versus what stays yours to do.
Enter your PIN or address. We look up your property in Cook County's own assessor records — free, no account needed.
We compare your assessment against neighboring homes and recent sales and show you an estimated savings range before you pay anything. If the evidence doesn't support a reduction, we tell you that instead.
One flat price, shown up front, set only by your estimated savings. You get a packet built for your specific case.
Submit your appeal directly to the Cook County Assessor's office or the Board of Review, using your packet as your evidence. Filing is free and stays in your own name.
Every packet is built the same, disciplined way — the comparison Cook County’s own Board of Review asks appellants to make.
Comparable-homes table
A set of comparable properties selected from public records — same township, same class, similar size — each with its PIN, address, and assessed value per square foot, the comparison the Board of Review's own guidance asks for.
The published method
A plain-language explanation of how we picked your comparables and estimated your savings, so you (or anyone reviewing your appeal) can check the work.
A filing checklist
The specific steps and forms for your township and appeal level, so you know exactly what to submit and where.
Deadlines for your township
Cook County appeal windows are set township by township and close on a hard date. We show you the window that applies to your property.
What Morganwell does
What you do
Morganwell is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation. We never file on your behalf, sign your appeal, or appear before the Board of Review for you. You file as your own representative — what Cook County calls filing pro se — which is allowed and common for homeowners appealing their own residence. The county’s own published appeal data shows homeowners who file themselves win regularly. Properties held in an LLC, trust, or corporation may be required to use an attorney; if that applies to you, we’ll say so before you buy anything.
Start with your address or PIN.
