Most senior homeowners are eligible for this exemption if they are 65 years of age or older (born in 1957 or prior) and own and occupy their property as their principal place of residence. Once this exemption is applied, the Assessors Office automatically renews it for you each year.
In Cook County, the amount of the exemption is the difference between your base year EAV and your current year EAV or $2,000 whichever is greater. Freezing your propertys EAV does not mean that your property taxes will not increase, however.
The Senior Exemption property tax savings each year is $8,000 in Equalized Assessed Value (EAV). It is important to note that the exemption amount is not the dollar amount by which a tax bill is lowered.
The Homeowner Exemption reduces the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) of a property by $10,000.
