“Not posted yet” means the Assessor has not mailed that township's 2026 reassessment notices; its window opens later this season.
How Cook's timeline works

Three windows, in order

1
Assessor · CCAO
First appeal window

Opens the day reassessment notices mail for your township and runs ~30 days to the last file date.

2
Board of Review
Second appeal window

Opens after the Assessor closes your township, in batched groups (1–7), with its own filing + evidence deadlines.

3
PTAB / Circuit Court
State-level appeal

If the Board result falls short, a PTAB petition is due within 30 days of the Board's decision.

Why two tax years show

CCAO calendar is tax year 2026; BOR posted session is 2026. A township can have a 2026 assessor window open while its 2026 BOR window is not posted yet.

Before the deadline

What to check first

  1. 01 Confirm the property's county, township, and current filing window.
  2. 02 Pull the parcel by address or PIN.
  3. 03 Review comparable sales, not just a Zestimate-style value.
  4. 04 Check assessment history for unusual jumps.
  5. 05 Review exemptions and property characteristics for record issues.
  6. 06 Decide whether the evidence is strong enough to justify filing.
Censum check

See if the evidence is worth reviewing.

Censum checks public records, comparable sales, assessment history, and process fit so you can decide whether to prepare an appeal packet, before the window closes.
