Property taxes are skyrocketing out of control, and it’s time to actually solve the problem rather than just talk about it.
As Commissioner, I commit to ushering in reforms that alleviate the burden placed on working people and businesses:
✅ Lower tax burdens for homeowners, renters, and businesses by raising the assessment level on vacant land, which currently gives a tax break to speculative investors
✅ Consolidate the more than 2,200 separate taxing bodies within Cook County
✅ Continue tax relief for homeowners, and expand relief to renters, who make up some of Cook County’s most vulnerable residents
✅ Build more housing, which will welcome more people into Cook County and lower tax bills by distributing tax levies across more households
