A homeowner in unincorporated Chicago Heights is reeling after receiving a property tax bill that assessed his modest 1950s home at over $1 million.
Darryl Lloyd, who purchased the three-bedroom, one-bathroom house in 2006 for $115,000, maintains its current market value is just over $180,000."I was literally devastated when I saw that increase," Lloyd said. "I see 960 feet. I don't have a second floor. I don't have a basement."The shock came just days ago when Lloyd's "home sweet home" on Gardner Avenue felt more like a nightmare.
These errors were discovered too late to correct before tax bills were printed and mailed.Lloyd's attempts to resolve the issue with the Cook County Tax Assessor's Office were met with frustration and runarounds."I said, let me go downtown city Hall, to the assessor's office. And, at that point, I showed them my taxes, and I told them that I had a substantial increase, and they were like, everybody's taxes increase," he recalled.
