Pappas: 39,100 Owners Must Pay Delinquent Cook County Property Taxes to Avoid Sale

By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Real Estate Weekly News -- Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas urged about 39,100 property owners to pay their delinquent bills immediately to prevent their unpaid taxes from being offered for auction at the Annual Tax Sale that starts Friday, May 4, 2018.

About 16,000 owners may be unaware of the tax sale because the U.S. Postal Service has returned their bills and subsequent notices.

"For most of us, our home is our biggest investment," Pappas said. "Don't risk losing it for an unpaid bill."

Pappas' warning was for owners of homes, businesses and land with unpaid bills for Tax Year 2016 (originally due in 2017). To see if your property taxes are delinquent, go to cookcountytreasurer.com and select "Avoid the Tax Sale."
