These Terms of Service govern your use of Cook County Appeal, operated by SQD Taxtech LLC, and located at https://cookcountyappeal.tax. By using the website, creating an account, or purchasing a report, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or purchase a report.
Cook County Appeal provides system-generated property tax appeal evidence reports for properties located in Cook County, Illinois. Reports may include comparable properties, public property information, calculations, maps, and other data intended to help homeowners evaluate and prepare their own property tax appeal.
Cook County Appeal is a technology platform. We do not file appeals for you, represent you, appear at hearings, communicate with the Cook County Assessor, Board of Review, or any other government body on your behalf, or guarantee any assessment reduction, refund, or tax savings.
SQD Taxtech LLC and cookcountyappeal.tax are not licensed, certified, registered, or approved real estate appraisers, brokers, salespersons, accountants, attorneys, or property tax consultants. Reports, comparable properties, recommended values, estimated savings, website content, and other materials are provided for informational use only and do not constitute legal, tax, appraisal, accounting, real estate, or property tax consulting advice.
You are responsible for:
Reports are generated from publicly available Cook County property and assessor information, vendor-sourced data, and automated analysis. We make reasonable efforts to present useful and relevant information, but public records and third-party data may be incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or interpreted differently by assessment officials.
All reports, data, estimates, recommendations, and website materials are provided "AS IS" and with all faults. We do not warrant that a report will be accepted by any government body or produce any particular appeal result.
You may need to provide your name and email address to create an account, receive a passcode, purchase a report, receive your report, request support, or use referral features. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep access to your email account secure. We may send transactional and service-related emails related to your account, purchase, report, refund request, or support request.
Payments are processed by Stripe or another payment processor we make available. Prices, discounts, and product availability may change at any time before purchase. Refund eligibility is governed by our Refund Policy, which is incorporated into these terms.
From time to time, we may offer complimentary reports, coupon codes, discounts, or other promotional offers. Unless an offer expressly states otherwise, complimentary report offers are limited to one report per person and one report per property. Email verification may be required. Offers are available only for eligible, supported properties and cannot be combined with other promotions.
Promotional offers may be limited by the number of available redemptions, an expiration date, or both. Finding that a property appears equitably assessed, is unsupported, or does not have sufficiently suitable comparable properties does not entitle the user to a report or any substitute benefit.
Creating multiple accounts, using multiple or aliased email addresses, submitting the same property more than once, sharing a single-use code, or otherwise attempting to bypass an offer's limits is prohibited. We may verify eligibility and reject, cancel, or revoke duplicate, fraudulent, automated, or abusive redemptions. Promotional offers have no cash value and may be modified, suspended, or ended at any time, subject to applicable law.
If you receive a complimentary report, we may contact you at the email address associated with your account to request feedback about the report and your experience.
