TO THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF REVIEW — 2026 RESIDENTIAL UNIFORMITY APPEAL BRIEF Subject Property: 1194 LONGMEADOW RD, NORTHBROOK, IL 60062 Permanent Index Number (PIN): 04-02-100-023-0000 Township: Northfield Township (Code 25) | Assessor Neighborhood Code: 25052 | Property Class: 2-04 1. BASIS OF APPEAL: LACK OF UNIFORMITY (ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION ART. IX, SEC. 4) The Subject Property is a Class 2-04 residential parcel (built 1989, Masonry construction) containing 3,257 square feet of building area on a 20,850 square foot lot in Northfield Township, Assessor Neighborhood 25052. Its improvement (building) is currently assessed at $70,725, or $21.71 per square foot of building area ($102,000 Total Assessed Value). 2. COMPARABLE UNIFORMITY EVIDENCE IN ASSESSOR NEIGHBORHOOD 25052 A review of comparable Class 2-04 residential properties in the identical Assessor Neighborhood (25052) demonstrates that the Subject Property is assessed substantially above similar neighboring homes: • PIN 04-02-100-013-0000 (1195 LONGMEADOW DR): Class 2-04, 3,320 sq ft (Frame, Partial bsmt) — Building AV $53,280 ($16.05 / sq ft) • PIN 04-02-100-015-0000 (1155 LONGMEADOW DR): Class 2-04, 2,710 sq ft (Frame, Partial bsmt) — Building AV $46,314 ($17.09 / sq ft) • PIN 04-02-100-026-0000 (91 LEE RD): Class 2-04, 2,760 sq ft (Masonry, Full bsmt) — Building AV $52,500 ($19.02 / sq ft) 3. REQUESTED RELIEF The median building assessment of the comparable Class 2-04 properties above is $17.09 per square foot. Applying $17.09 per square foot to the Subject Property's 3,257 square feet yields a uniform Building Assessed Value of $55,662. Added to the uncontested Land Assessed Value of $31,275, the Petitioner respectfully requests that the Total Assessed Value be reduced from $102,000 to $86,937 (an assessment reduction of $15,063, or 14.8%).
