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.
The homestead exemption used to be limited to revocable trusts (trusts that can be terminated any time by the settlor), but this limitation was removed effective tax year 2009 for real property and tax year 2010 for manufactured and mobile homes.
