Should I appeal to the Assessor or the Board of Review in Lyons Township?
They are separate filings and the table above shows both. For 2025, Lyons Township sent 4,828 residential appeals to the Assessor and 7,372 to the Board of Review; 10.0% and 35.7% of them respectively moved the value. The Board of Review hears appeals after the Assessor has closed a township, so missing the first window does not end the year.
