With property tax bills due by August 1, many Cook County residents are facing issues, and another veteran has now raised concerns.
Martin Guest, a disabled veteran, recently turned to FOX 32 after waiting two hours at the Cook County Assessor's Office without getting answers. Guest, who cannot stand for long periods, said, "This is the document that states that I am totally and permanently disabled from the VA."Guest's complaint adds to a growing list of Cook County homeowners who have contacted FOX 32 about property tax problems.
You know, I'm blessed to even have a home. Truly I am. You know, I have a 14-year-old son and I take care of him the best I can. And this is kind of important to me because I don't have that kind of money," Guest said.Guest showed FOX 32 a document indicating that the previous tax bill for the home was $0, as the house was owned by another disabled veteran. However, months after purchasing the home, Guest received a tax bill for $10,114.
