More than $22 million in property tax refunds will be sent to more than 10,000 Cook County property owners who overpaid last year.
The refunds will be sent automatically and by mail to 10,099 homeowners who made overpayments on their First Installment taxes last year, according to a statement from Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas."For many senior citizens and others, the value of tax breaks known as exemptions is greater than the amount of property taxes they were billed," Pappas said.
