Half of suburban Chicago’s 200 highest tax-paying commercial properties are in northern Cook County, according to a Local Government Information Services (LGIS) analysis of property tax data from the Cook County Treasurer's Office. Collectively, these 100 properties contributed $227 million to Cook County’s public funds, which go toward municipal salaries and local school districts.
LGIS ranked the commercial properties in suburban Chicago that were billed the most in the 2015 tax year. The 200 highest-paying properties paid $441 million; north Cook County made up 51 percent of this total.
Cook County is unique in Illinois in that it assesses property taxes for commercial properties differently than for residential properties. While Cook County residential property tax assessments are capped at 10 percent of market value, commercial and industrial properties are capped at 25 percent.
That means Cook County commercial property taxpayers can pay more than double the taxes of residential properties with identical market values.
Woodfield Mall’s owners paid the most in northern Cook County last year at $23.86 million for the Schaumburg property, or 10.5 percent of the total. Westfield Old Orchard shopping center in Skokie paid $13.9 million, followed by the AT&T building in Hoffman Estates at $7.14 million and Rivers Casino in Des Plaines at $6.44 million.
