Cook County property tax incentive taken advantage of by hundreds of landlords annually aims to boost affordable housing – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

Called Affordable Illinois when signed into law by Gov. JB Pritzker in summer 2021, it allows owners of existing buildings with seven or more units anywhere in the county to secure cuts to the assessed values of their properties, which reduces the tax burden, if they provide affordable apartments and make substantial renovations.
