As a public agency, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer welcomes all vendors to participate in the open and competitive process. The buying plan contains hundreds of great opportunities for vendors to do business with Cook County. The buying plan includes information on numerous County projects and needs. You will find useful information on the department requesting proposals, project descriptions, value of contract, advertising date, and various Minority, Women and Veteran Business Enterprise subcontracting opportunities. OCPO encourages all potential vendors to use the information provided in the plan to assist them in future procurement efforts. Please contact Procurement staff or visit our website at https://www.cookcountyil.gov/procurement with any questions regarding procurement and contracting.

Under Cook County Ethics Code Section 2-585, campaign contributions to County elected officials are limited to $1,500 per calendar year if the contributor is currently doing or has done business with the County. The term "doing business" or "done business" is defined at "any one or any combination of sales, purchases, leases, or contracts to, from, or with the County or any County agency in excess of $10,000.00 in the previous four years."

This dataset lists all vendors currently affected by these campaign contributions limited due to their current or past work with the County. Contribution limits apply to the listed vendor, its subsidiaries, parent company, or otherwise affiliated companies. Please note that this dataset may include separate entries for different divisions of the same company, its subsidiaries, parent company, or otherwise affiliated companies. While listed separately, they are considered a single entity/vendor subject to the County's contribution limit.

Parcels with property tax-exempt status across all of Cook County per tax year, from Tax Year 2022 on, with geographic coordinates and addresses.

Properties of religious, charitable, and educational organizations, as well as units of federal, state and local governments, can be eligible for exemption from property taxes. The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) ultimately grants qualified organizations with property tax exempt status, with additional administration by the Board of Review and/or Assessor. Learn more here, and see the Assessor's guidance for religious organizations here.

When working with Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 14 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded.

Additional notes:

• Parcel entroids are based on Cook County parcel shapefiles.


• Newer properties may be missing a mailing or property address, as they need to be assigned one by the postal service.


• Exempt status for parcels changes regularly depending on the use and owner of a given parcel. Please contact Assessor.Exempt@cookcountyil.gov if you need additional information about parcels excluded from this dataset.


• Data will be updated monthly.


• This dataset contains data for the current tax year, which may not yet be complete or final. Assessed values and property tax-exempt status for any given year are subject to change until review and certification of values by the Cook County Board of Review, though there are a few rare circumstances where values may change for the current or past years after that.


• Rowcount for a given year is final once the Assessor has certified the assessment roll all townships.


• Current property class codes, their levels of assessment, and descriptions can be found on the Assessor's website. Note that class codes details can change across time.

Commercial valuation data collected and maintained by the Cook County Assessor's Office, from 2021 to present. The office uses this data primarily for valuation and reporting. This dataset consolidates the individual Excel workbooks available on the Assessor's website into a single shared format. Properties are valued using similar valuation methods within each model group, per township, per year (in the year the township is reassessed). This dataset has been cleaned minimally, only enough to fit the source Excel workbooks together - because models are updated for each township in the year it is reassessed, users should expect inconsistencies within columns across time and townships.

When working with Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 14 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded.

This data is property-level. Each 14-digit key PIN represents one commercial property. Commercial properties can and often do encompass multiple PINs. Additional notes:

• Current property class codes, their levels of assessment, and descriptions can be found on the Assessor's website. Note that class codes details can change across time.


• Data will be updated yearly, once the Assessor has finished mailing first pass values. If users need more up-to-date information they can access it through the Assessor's website.


• The Assessor's Office reassesses roughly one third of the county (a triad) each year. For commercial valuations, this means each year of data only contain the triad that was reassessed that year. Which triads and their constituent townships have been reassessed recently as well the year of their reassessment can be found in the Assessor's assessment calendar.


• One KeyPIN is one Commercial Entity.


• Each KeyPIN (entity) can be comprised of one single PIN (parcel), or multiple PINs as designated in the pins column.


• Additionally, each KeyPIN might have multiple rows if it is associated with different class codes or model groups. This can occur because many of Cook County's parcels have multiple class codes associated with them if they have multiple uses (such as residential and commercial).


• Commercial properties are calculated by first determining a property’s use (office, retail, apartments, industrial, etc.), then the property is grouped with similar or like-kind property types. Next, income generated by the property such as rent or incidental income streams like parking or advertising signage is examined. Next, market-level vacancy based on location and property type is examined. In addition, new construction that has not yet been leased is also considered. Finally, expenses such as property taxes, insurance, repair and maintenance costs, property management fees, and service expenditures for professional services are examined. Once a snapshot of a property’s income statement is captured based on market data, a standard valuation metric called a “capitalization rate” to convert income to value is applied.


• This data was used to produce initial valuations mailed to property owners. It does not incorporate any subsequent changes to a property’s class, characteristics, valuation, or assessed value from appeals.

Township codes can be found in the legend of this map.

Cook County 10-digit parcels with attached distances to various spatial features.

When working with 10-digit Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 10 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded. 10-digit PINs do not identify individual condominium units.

Additional notes:

• Centroids are based on Cook County parcel shapefiles.


• Older properties may be missing coordinates and thus also missing attached spatial data (usually they are missing a parcel boundary in the shapefile).


• Attached spatial data does NOT all go back to 2000. It is only available for more recent years, primarily those after 2012.


• This dataset contains data for the current tax year, which may not yet be complete or final. Assessed values for any given year are subject to change until review and certification of values by the Cook County Board of Review, though there are a few rare circumstances where values may change for the current or past years after that.


• Rowcount for a given year is final once the Assessor has certified the assessment roll all townships.


• Data will be updated annually as new parcel shapefiles are made available.

A complete, historic universe of Cook County parcels with attached geographic, governmental, and spatial data.

When working with Parcel Index Numbers (PINs) make sure to zero-pad them to 14 digits. Some datasets may lose leading zeros for PINs when downloaded.

Additional notes:

• Non-taxing district data is attached via spatial join (st_contains) to each parcel's centroid.


• Tax district data (school district, park district, municipality, etc.) are attached by a parcel's assigned tax code.


• Centroids are based on Cook County parcel shapefiles.


• Older properties may be missing coordinates and thus also missing attached spatial data (usually they are missing a parcel boundary in the shapefile).


• Newer properties may be missing a mailing or property address, as they need to be assigned one by the postal service.


• This dataset contains data for the current tax year, which may not yet be complete or final. Assessed values for any given year are subject to change until review and certification of values by the Cook County Board of Review, though there are a few rare circumstances where values may change for the current or past years after that.


• Rowcount for a given year is final once the Assessor has certified the assessment roll all townships.


• Data will be updated monthly.


• Depending on the time of year, some third-party and internal data will be missing for the most recent year. Assessments mailed this year represent values from last year, so this isn't an issue. By the time the Data Department models values for this year, those data will have populated.


• Current property class codes, their levels of assessment, and descriptions can be found on the Assessor's website. Note that class codes details can change across time.


• Due to discrepancies between the systems used by the Assessor and Clerk's offices, tax_district_code is not currently up-to-date in this table.
