Property tax appeals in Worth Township give owners a closer look at whether an assessed value may be too high. In this set of Cook County appeal results, most appeals did not end in a change — but a meaningful share did, and even a modest reduction can ease a tax burden over time. The results also show appeal outcomes vary a lot by property class.

Overall Success Rate
The homeowner appeal success rate in Worth Township was 11.9%. Counting each appeal once (a condo building's units, decided together, are one appeal), 562 of 4,720 homeowner appeals ended with a "Change" — counted here as a successful appeal. In plain terms, a successful appeal means the proposed assessed value didn't stay the same; the final value moved after review.
That doesn't guarantee a specific tax reduction, but it shows some properties had room for correction. For owners, it's a reminder that assessed values are worth reviewing — a lower final value can create a better tax position, especially when the original assessment looks out of line with the property or with nearby comparables.
Success Rate by Property Class
Outcomes weren't uniform across property types. In Cook County, class codes identify the property type: many Class 2 codes are residential homes and condos, Class 3 covers larger multi-family or mixed-use buildings, and Class 5 commonly includes commercial property. Worth Township's appeal volume was dominated by residential classes.
| Class | What it generally represents | Appeals | Success |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2-03 | One-story residence, 1,000–1,800 sq ft | 1,879 | 12.3% |
| 2-34 | Split-level residence | 927 | 11.4% |
| 2-99 | Residential condominium | 246* | 2.4% |
| 2-78 | Two-or-more story, 2,001–3,800 sq ft | 312 | 11.5% |
| 2-02 | One-story residence, up to 999 sq ft | 272 | 14.0% |
| 2-04 | One-story residence, 1,801+ sq ft | 275 | 13.8% |
| 2-05 | Older two-or-more story, up to 2,200 sq ft | 243 | 17.3% |
| 2-11 | Apartment building, 2–6 units | 175 | 7.4% |
| 2-06 | Older two-or-more story, 2,201–4,999 sq ft | 123 | 13.8% |
| 2-10 | Older row house or townhome | 117 | 8.5% |
Apart from condos, the high-volume residential classes clustered in a fairly narrow band — roughly 7% to 17% — around the 11.9% homeowner average. *Condo appeals were the exception: 6 of 246 won (2.4%). A condo appeal can cover a whole building, so these 246 appeals covered 431 units. The clearest standout sat outside that group: Class 5-17 (one-story commercial buildings) posted a 41.7% success rate, suggesting some commercial properties had stronger grounds for review than the typical residential appeal.
What Happened to Assessed Values
The proposed-to-final movement was modest but real:
| Average cut, winning homeowner appeals | ~7.8% |
| Typical (median) cut, winning homeowner appeals | $1,634 |
| Average cut in dollars, winning homeowner appeals | $2,587 |
| Homeowner appeals with no change | ~88% |
Assessed value is a core input to your tax bill. A lower final value doesn't translate one-for-one into the same percentage drop in taxes, but it can still move an owner into a better position. Even when an appeal doesn't succeed, comparing the proposed and final values shows how the review process is actually working in a township.
What This Means for Worth Township Owners
Two things stand out. First, not every appeal leads to a change — a realistic expectation matters. Second, some property types had clearly stronger outcomes than others.
For homeowners, a careful review of assessed value still matters, especially if the property's size, condition, characteristics, or comparable sales suggest the assessment is too high. For commercial owners, the stronger success in classes like 5-17 is a reminder that there may be real opportunities to challenge an assessment when the facts support it.
Worth is one of the 17 south & west suburban townships reassessed in 2026, so this cycle's value can stand for three years unless successfully appealed — which makes reviewing your assessment especially worthwhile this year.
