The Dreaded Property Tax Deadline Approaches

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the Cook County property tax first installment on the 2009 year is due this Tuesday, March 2. Be ready to monitor your payment made by your mortgage lender (if your lender keeps a property tax escrow account on your behalf), OR make the payment yourself: online at www.cookcountytreasurer.com, by mail, or at a branch of Chase Bank (or one of 200 other community banks that are listed on the Treasurer's website).

Consider this a public service announcement, if you would. No particular words of wisdom today, but advice to save you being charged a late fee!
