Appeal the assessment on your rental buildings — every year it is worth it
Taxes are one of the largest lines in a rental P&L — in one Chicago operator discussion on BiggerPockets, multifamily taxes ran 15–18% of gross rent, and appealing every year was described as standard practice. Your buildings are valued like businesses, so the packet argues like one: on income.
What is in the packet
- Built for 2–6 unit buildings, duplexes, and portfolios up to ~50 doors — the segment the big residential services serve worst.
- Income-approach worksheet from your rent roll and trailing expenses; uniformity track where your class allows it.
- Portfolio intake: add each property once; packets generate per parcel with its own deadline.
- Michigan buyers: taxable value uncaps the year after a sale — the packet is built for that first appeal after purchase.
- Flat per-parcel pricing by assessed value, plus $49/yr monitoring so next year's window never surprises you.
Price: From $299 per parcel, tiered by assessed value
In Cook County's published 2025 data, multifamily appeals won reductions far more often in a reassessment year (about 60.7% pooled) than in off-years (13.9%) — timing is part of the product, and monitoring exists to catch your year.

Run the free check with your assessed value and tax bill. Complete the intake for your property type. We generate the packet as a downloadable document with your evidence organised and your form pre-filled where a standard form exists. You review, sign, and file before the deadline on your notice — informal review does not extend it.
Software, not representation. FairAppealPacket is not a law firm, a licensed appraiser, or a licensed property-tax consultant. We do not file, appear, or negotiate for you. You review, sign, and file your own appeal. No result is guaranteed.

The check is free and uses your own numbers — no score invented from data we do not have. If your worksheet shows no indicated saving, we will tell you not to buy a packet.
