Sellers and property taxes in Cook County

In Cook County we pay our property taxes in arrears, which means that in 2015, we are paying 2014 taxes. Therefore, when you sell your home, you will have to give a credit to the buyer for the taxes not yet due while you lived in the home. Generally speaking, taxes are prorated around 105-110 percent absent special circumstances. That means that we are assuming that the taxes will go up 5-10 percent next year.
