Logan Square faced one of the largest residential property tax increases of 2.9% in Chicago during 2021. The skyrocketing assessments are attributed to recent rising property valuations.
During 2023, the latest valuation data available, the neighborhood recorded a total of 409 residential property valuations, culminating in a median property valuation of $47,072. Data shows this is a 57.3% decrease from the 957 registered in the previous year.
In 2023, the residential property with the highest valuation in Logan Square was located at 3053 W PALMER ST, valued at $176,999. The second and third highest valuations were at 2853 W PALMER ST and 2120 N WHIPPLE ST, valued at $174,999 and $172,000, respectively.
Chicago faced a 7.1% decrease in residential property taxes in 2021, with the 2023 median property valuation of $22,000 serving as a guideline.
Property tax assessments in South suburban Cook County have skyrocketed, with some homeowners facing increases up to 650%. This has led to widespread concern, as articulated by Jami Flaws from Lyons Township, who fears such hikes will force many from their homes. Residents say the tax assessment increases don't match the market values of their homes.
"We probably won't be able to sell our homes because they aren't even close to what the assessment says," Flaws said.
Due to privacy and security concerns, some addresses were not fully disclosed.
For accurate comparisons, property valuations prior to 2023 have been adjusted using average CPI inflation to reflect 2023 dollars.
