Shaw,
I am in the same situation with you, I live in Lake County, IL, and just got in the mail the tax assessment for 2008. It is absolutely ridiculous. My taxes went up a lot but properties went down in value.
Last year I 've appealed my taxes in front of a board of 4-5 people but of course with no success. There are no attorney I know of that will take on Lake County assessment office.
I really hope that somebody knows how to fight this!!! Any information on how to fight these bureaucrats is highly appreciated.
Thanks all,
