Property data updated for 2016 tax year

Published on Feb. 12, 2018 by Steven Vance


Cityscape Pro members can analyze or download in bulk

Many of our Pro members use Chicago Cityscape to quickly gather historical and current property assessments and tax bills for one property at a time using Address Snapshot, or in bulk. For example, you can download a map or spreadsheet of the property assessments and tax bills for all the parcels in an entire community area or within a Personal Place you’ve drawn yourself.

Look up an address on Address Snapshot and you’ll get this information for all the properties within view.

You can even specify which property class you want to export: Apartment buildings of a certain size, commercial condos, or something else.

All of our Cook County property data is now current for the 2016 property tax year.


Cityscape Pro members can use our massive Cook County properties data set to find parcels of a specific property class in a specific area, and then download it to Excel or GIS, with property manager names and tax history attached.

Our dataset has been updated to include thousands more properties (mostly condos, which were harder to deal with in the past), and with tax data from 2016. Most of the 1,879,504 parcels and condos in this dataset have property tax data going back to 2009.

We will add 2017 tax data after the second installment bill comes out in the middle of 2018.

Our handmade dataset is the only source for this combined information:

  • assessments
  • tax bills
  • location within Cook County, including a condo unit number (if you purchase the download, it’s GIS-ready)
  • classification
  • whether or not the property owner has appealed
  • what exemptions the property has received
  • age and size (residential only)

You can get access to this information through multiple interfaces on Chicago Cityscape, or you can download the entire dataset from our Data Store. As always, if you have a question about Pro membership, or this data, please contact us.
