CHICAGO, IL  – New data reveals a surprising trend in Cook County property tax appeals: homeowners who file their own appeals are achieving success rates that match or exceed those represented by attorneys. This development challenges the long-held belief that professional legal representation is necessary for successful property tax challenges. Recent statistics show self-filers achieving a 38% success rate compared to 37% for attorney-represented cases in 2021. Jeff Badu, a seasoned  tax accountant in Chicago, IL , has been tracking these trends through his work with Badu Appeals, LLC.

The shift toward self-representation has been facilitated by Cook County's introduction of a user-friendly online appeal system that takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Jeff Badu, who specializes in...
