Evanston Main-Dempster Property Owners Let Loose About Tax Concerns in Meeting with Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi – Evanston Roundtable

One speaker, Kirby Henderson, told Mr. Kaegi that he owns the building at 831 Chicago Ave., which originally was built as a stable in 1896. “I’ve had it for about 11 years. When I started in the building, taxes were about two dollars and quarter per square foot per year... Now, with my latest assessment, my taxes are about $14-per-square foot per year."
