CHICAGO, Aug. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas will post the Second Installment property tax bills online after 10 a.m. today at cookcountytreasurer.com. The new bills will bring the total amount billed countywide for 2020 to more than $16.1 billion, an increase of more than 3.4 percent from last year.

The bills will be mailed to taxpayers later this month. Payments are due October 1.

To make a payment online, go to the website:

• Or the results under "Have You Received Your Exemptions in These Tax Years?"

Late payments are charged 1.5 percent per month, as required by Illinois law.
