Going to the Hearing .......................................................................................... 30. D. If You Disagree with the Courtâs Order ..............................................................
Properties cannot receive both the LOHE and the General Homestead Exemption or Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption. Properties that qualify for the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption will receive the same amount calculated for the General Homestead Exemption. For information and to apply for this homestead exemption, contact the Cook County Assessor's Office.
For example: the previous homestead exemption is abandoned March 2014, the applicant must establish the new homestead exemption by January 1 of 2016. If the applicant is granted a homestead exemption, but does not apply for portability within two consecutive years, he/she may apply at a future date.
