“The Second Installment of Cook County property taxes was due August 3, but property owners can pay without late fees through October 1,” Treasurer Maria Pappas said. “If you are worried about how to pay your property taxes today, you can stop!” Pappas said. “You have two additional months to figure out how to juggle your bills.”

Property owners can make partial payments to avoid making one big payment on October 1. Any balance due on the Second Installment after that date will be charged 1.5 percent per month, as required by law.
