Welcome to
Cook County Assessor James M. Houlihan’s
Non-Residential Assessment Search Page.
Using this
search function, you may view property information,
including property location (city, township and
address), class, tax code, and age information, as
well as prior and current assessment values. This
information is similar to what is found on your
"Notice of Proposed Assessed Valuation," mailed by
the Assessor’s Office. If you find that your
property’s information has been listed incorrectly,
or you disagree with your assessed value, you may
consider filing a non-residential appeal with the
Cook County Assessor’s Office.
If you wish
to appeal your assessment, some information that you
may wish to provide with a non-residential appeal
could include, but need not be limited to the
following: recent purchase price, income or rental
data, appraisal value, or vacancy/occupancy data.
Please click here to see
guidelines for filing non-residential appeals and
corresponding forms.
The most
current assessment information will only be
available for properties in triennial reassessment
townships that have been mailed their
"Notice of Proposed Assessed Valuation."
For a listing of available
townships and mailing dates

Please read
the following instructions for information on how to
best conduct an assessment search for
non-residential property.

Instructions
There are
two main search functions available to you in
performing an assessment search for non-residential
property in Cook County. You may search by Property
Index Number (PIN) or by address. If you already
know your PIN, use the "Search by Property Index
Number" function. If you do not know your PIN, you
may use the "Search by Address" function. The third,
"Search by Neighborhood" function, is primarily used
for residential properties, but may be used as a
geographic location tool for non-residential
properties. It is important to note that there
are often multiple addresses for certain
non-residential properties.
Once you
have finished reading these instructions, you may
begin your non-residential search by clicking on one
of the highlighted, "Click Here to Begin a Search"
button at the top and bottom of this page. This will
bring you to the Internet browser, or you may click
the highlighted "Help on searching" on the bottom of
the Property Search page. You may refer back to
these instructions at anytime by clicking the "Back"
button at the top of your Internet browser.
Search by
Property Index Number
From the
"Assessment Search" page you may conduct a search by
entering your 14 digit Property Index Number (PIN)
in the corresponding boxes in the "Search by
Property Index Number" function. Your PIN can be
found on your "Notice of Proposed Assessed
Valuation," or on your tax bill. The first 2 digits
should be entered into the first box, the second 2
in the second box, 3 digits in each of the third and
fourth boxes, and the remaining 4 digits in the last
box. Once you have entered your PIN, click once on
the "Search by PIN" button. This will bring up a
page with your desired PIN, corresponding address,
class code, neighborhood, assessed value, and city.
Simply click once on the highlighted PIN for more
information on your desired property.
Search by
Address
If you wish
to obtain information on a specific non-residential
property but you do not know the PIN, simply enter
the address in the "Search by Address" function. It
should be noted that due to the transitory nature of
addresses, our address file might contain errors or
omissions. If you experience difficulties, please
call the Cook County Assessor’s Office Taxpayer
Information Department at 312-443-7550. When
entering the street name of your desired property,
to aid in your search, please do not enter the
street suffix, such as St., Dr., Ave., etc. You will
then need to enter the city name in the box on the
third line of the section. Please note that you
do not need to select a class to conduct a search.
Once the
required fields of information are entered, click
once on the "Search by Address" button to submit
your search. This will bring up a page with your
desired PIN, corresponding address, class code,
neighborhood, assessed value, and city. Simply left
click once on the highlighted PIN for more
information on your property.
Search Help: If you are having
difficulty finding a property or wish to expand your
search, try entering less information. For instance,
in the "Search by Address" function leave the
direction box blank, or only enter the first few
letters of the street or city. In the "Search by
PIN" function, if you enter only the first seven
numbers of your PIN (i.e…if your index number is
01-01-123-456-0000, and you only insert 01-01-123)
this will expand your search to include all the
properties that share those seven digits in
ascending PIN order. This will widen the parameters
for the database and improve the possibility that a
record is found.
Please
Note: This is non-residential property. Unlike
residential property, it may be misleading to
compare properties based solely on the information
contained on this site. Many factors are considered
when assessing non-residential properties. These
factors include, but are not limited to, recent
purchase price, zoning consideration, income or
rental data, appraisal value, and vacancy/occupancy
data.
