PTAB - eFile

PTAB developed this eFiling system to provide appellants with a secure and efficient means to appeal property assessments from Illinois' 102 local county boards of review. PTAB designed the system to support a wide range of litigants, including pro se appellants and law firms. Please view the User Guide before starting your appeal.

All documents submitted to the PTAB are subject to the Freedom of Information Act – do NOT disclose or submit any document which contains a social security number, taxpayer identification number, bank account number, or date of birth. Any documents containing this information should have said information redacted.

This is a government website for official PTAB business only. All activities of users of this system for any purpose, and all access attempts, may be recorded and monitored by persons authorized by Illinois and federal law for improper use, protection of system security, the performance of maintenance, and for appropriate management by the PTAB of its systems. Users expressly consent to monitoring their use of the system and to official access to data reviewed and created by them on the system. If evidence of unlawful activity is discovered, including unauthorized access attempts, it may be reported to law enforcement officials. Any filings that attempt to bypass the embedded data security or manipulate the fields on the electronic forms will be null and void pursuant to Standing Order No. 2.

I understand that I am entering a State of Illinois system to file a property assessment appeal. I understand that I need to provide all the required information and documentation to support my appeal. I understand that the failure to agree to or meet the criteria below will result in my inability to file an appeal with PTAB.

I understand that:

		I must establish jurisdiction by attaching a copy of the county board of review decision that I am appealing or a copy of Property Tax Appeal Board's decision for the preceding year when seeking a direct or "rollover" appeal (See 35 ILCS 200/16-160 and 16-185).
		I certify that I am filing this appeal within 30 days of the postmark date of written notice of the board of review's decision, within 30 days of the postmark date of the written notice of the application of final adopted township multipliers by the board of review, or within 30 days after the date that the board of review transmits to the county assessor pursuant to Section 16-125 its final action on the township in which the property is located. I understand that my appeal will be rejected if I fail to timely file.
		I cannot upload PDF Portfolios or secured PDF files. They will not be processed correctly by the system and will not be made part of the record. I should attach the county board of review decision or PTAB decision as the first attachment and ensure that all pages have the correct orientation when scanned.
		I must enter the property index number (PIN) in its proper format as it appears on my tax bill with all digits and punctuation included.
		If I am appealing on behalf of a corporation, LLC, trust, condo association, or other legal entity, I should enter the entity's name in the "Last Name" field. If the name is too long for the "Last Name" field, I should enter the name of the entity starting on the "First Name" field and finishing on the "Last Name" field. If I am appealing on behalf of two or more people with different last names, I should enter one person's first and last name with "&" added at the end in the "First Name" field and I should enter the next person(s) first and last name in the "Last Name" field. I should not include a "c/o" if it only indicates the attorney already listed.
