FAQ

Plain answers before you start.

What does the property check produce?

The free result may say you do not need to buy anything. Property Comparison Review — $5 is optional. We use three defensible comparison homes from the available county records, not perfect matches. You see the numbers, material differences and unknowns, and whether the comparisons support asking for a lower assessment. The $50 appeal preparation packet is offered only when it supplies substantially all property-specific information needed to self-file, including verified evidence, comparison calculations, a proposed assessment and filing guidance. An official form is optional and does not determine the price. Useful verified evidence that is incomplete, inconclusive or does not support a reduction remains an optional $5 review. A review is not a completed complaint. Read the scope shown for your property before paying.

Can I start a property check in my county?

Every Illinois county is listed as Available, Limited, or Not yet available. Available counties can start the normal property check. Limited counties may require an official document. Not yet available counties explain what to keep ready.

Is there an unsupported-county signup list?

No. If a county is not available yet, the page simply says what official document to keep ready.

What should I upload?

Only official property documents requested inside the signed-in flow, such as assessment, parcel, tax, or appeal PDFs.

What happens when support is weak?

AssessLess should tell you to stop before spending more time or money on a packet.
