A brief outline of the changes users can expect from the Assessor's open data offerings.

A brief outline of the changes users can expect from the Assessor's open data offerings.

Land, building, and total assessed values, pre and post-appeal with the Cook County Assessor’s office, for all Cook County parcels, from 1999 to present. The Assessor's Office uses these values for reporting, evaluating assessment performance over time, and research.

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

This data is parcel-level. Each row contains the assessed values for a single PIN for a single year pre and post-appeal. Important notes:

• This dataset includes appeal cases that are currently open. Data for these cases is not final and is subject to change.


• Each row includes two stages: 1) mailed, these are the initial assessed values (AVs) estimated by the Assessor's Office and mailed to taxpayers. The columns mailed_bldg, mailed_land, and mailed_tot are the AVs for the building, land, and total, at the mailed stage. 2) certified, these are values after the Assessor's Office closes appeals. The columns certified_bldg, certified_land, and certified_tot are the AVs for the building, land, and total, after the Assessor has completed appeal decisions.


• Values in this dataset are not final assessed values for a given year as they are still subject to change if a taxpayer appeals to the Cook County Board of Review. At present, this dataset does not contain appeal decisions from this final third stage. However, the final stage AVs and appeal decisions can be downloaded from the Board of Review Appeal Decision History dataset.


• Due to the current transition from the county's legacy system to a modern system of record, appeal data is sparse prior to 2021. Values and change/no change decisions are available, but the reason, agent, and type fields will only be complete once the new system has been successfully batch updated with complete historical data.


• The values in this data are assessed values, NOT market values. Assessed values must be adjusted by their level of assessment to arrive at market value. Note that levels of assessment have changed throughout the time period covered by this data set.


• This data set will be updated monthly regardless of the Assessor's mailing and certification schedule. There may be small discrepancies between the Assessor's site and this data set, as each pulls from a slightly different system. If you find a discrepancy, please email the Data Department using the contact link below.


• 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.


• 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.

Every assessed value in Cook County 2010 to 2020, and appeal indicators. Each PIN has three stages of assessments each year: CCAO Mailed, CCAO Certified, and Board of Review (BOR) Certified final values. This allows comparison in assessments across agencies.

As of February 14, 2020 this dataset will be considered archived information and will no longer be updated.

First-pass property values as assessed by the Cook County Assessor in their Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal system used to assess residential properties. This dataset contains first pass values for 2019 and corresponds with residential PINs in the Cook County Assessor's Assessment Data. These are NOT final assessed values. For Disclaimers, see dataset narrative at https://datacatalog.cookcountyil.gov/stories/s/p2kt-hk36

This data set includes property locations and attached spatial data for all Cook County parcels. Spatial matching was based on parcel centroids. Older properties may be missing latitude and longitude data because they are not contained in the most recent parcel shape layer. Brand new properties may be missing a mailing/property address because the postal service has not yet assigned the property an address. Data attached to each PIN is the most recent available. For example, Census tract data is drawn from the 2014-2018 5-year American Community Survey.

The code and sources used to construct this data can be located on GitLab. See data notes for link.

In response to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and its anticipated effects on the residential real estate market, the Cook County Assessor will adjust residential assessments. This data can be used to replicate residential COVID adjustments. Code can be located on GitLab. See data notes for link. NOTE that the 'adjusted values' in this data will not necessarily be consistent with each individual PIN's final assessment.

This data displays total exempt EAV and total exemptions by tax code. Since residential exemptions reveal sensitive information about individual taxpayers and households, we have applied the p% statistical disclosure rule in suppressing fields.
