How to Pay Property Taxes Online

Ahead of the August 1st deadline, remind your clients to act now to pay the second installment of their Cook County property taxes. Making a payment is easier than ever. Your clients can pay online at CookCountyTreasurer.com. Once on the site, taxpayers can pay with a credit card or link their bank account for free, allowing for automatic payment. Here’s how to pay online:
  • Go to “Make an Online Payment” on the homepage.
  • Taxpayers will be asked for their 14-digit Property Index Number (PIN), which can be found at the top of the most recent tax bill, near the amount due. They can also use their property address to look up their PIN on the treasurer’s website.
  • Pay online for free or print the tax bill to mail to:
    • Cook County Treasurer PO Box 805438 Chicago, IL 60680-4155
