Chicago is reassessed in 2027, and your purchase price is evidence

Cook County reassesses on a triennial cycle that puts the City of Chicago in 2027, and the assessor treats a recent purchase price as evidence of market value.

From tax year 2026 the assessor applies a 'loaded cap rate' — taxes are added as a load rather than deducted as an expense — which raises assessed value on income-approach properties. Underwrite the post-2027 bill, not the seller's current one.
