The Cook County Assessor's Office, located at 118 N. Clark Street in Chicago, Illinois, provides a web-based solution for public records access through the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140/1 et seq.). Operating from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., the office offers access to property index numbers, assessment appeal records, and related government documents. Individuals and corporations must detail their relationship to the request, including whether they act as a self-representative or an agent, along with contact information. The form also asks whether the information requested will serve a commercial purpose and whether a prior submission was made. Requesters must specify the nature of the records sought, whether they need inspection or copies, and whether certification is needed. Reproduction and certification fees apply in accordance with Illinois property tax statutes. Providing precise descriptions of the records sought helps the office process cases more efficiently and reduces delays in fulfilling the public records request.
