Attorney Filing Procedures

Welcome all attorneys practicing at the Board. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of multiple B.O.R. sessions or you are newly practicing for the current 2006 session, we hope you will find the information we have gathered here helpful.

You will find forms, filing procedures, rules and other suggestions to facilitate your practice at the Board of Review.

While pre-filing is accepted for any case, we strongly encourage it for the following categories:

• File containing previous PTAB stipulations in the same triennial
• Condominiums
• Gas Stations
• Airports (lease hold)
• All other lease holds
• Banks
• Fast Food
• Downtown properties exceeding $3 million in assessed valuation located within the area bounded by the Division and Roosevelt on the North and South, and the Lake and Halsted on the East and West respectively. (i.e. office buildings, retail centers, hotels and major properties)**

*Airport properties may be handled through telephonic conference.

** Downtown property filings should be preceded with an inclusive list of properties upon which an oral hearing will be requested. The list should be sent to each First Assistant Commissioner. The list should be inclusive of a firm’s entire docket upon which a hearing will be requested. Hearings will be granted and scheduled at the Board’s discretion.

No oral argument will be taken on scheduled hearing dates on the above categories.

(Non valuation cases should be identified for BOR counter personnel at time of pre-filing)
