Cook County Treasurer Launches Online Tool to Show How Property Taxes Are Allocated

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas launched a new online tool that calculates year-to-year changes for each property tax bill and shows where tax dollars go.

The new feature, called “Where Your Money Goes,” is an online, educational display that provides a clear view of how much taxes owed on a property increased or decreased from one year to the next. It also calculates the money an individual property owner owed to each school district or other local unit of government in the past two years.

To access the new tool:

  1. Visit cookcountytreasurer.com/whereyourmoneygoessearch.aspx
  2. Search for a property by Property Index Number (PIN) or address.
  3. Select the correct property and click, “View Your Property Tax Information.”

Make sure to share this new tool with your clients!
