If you have a Senior Freeze (Low-Income Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze), this estimate does not apply — the freeze caps your taxable value at a base year, so your actual bill can be far lower. This tool models only the flat senior exemption.
Before acting on this estimate, verify your assessed value and exemptions with the Cook County Assessor or Treasurer — see our Terms of Service.

Evanston Township is coterminous with the City of Evanston — and it holds a footnote in Illinois history: its township government was dissolved into the city in 2014, the first such dissolution in the state. For property-tax purposes, though, it survives as an assessment township on the Assessor’s North suburbs cycle.
The typical composite rate across our 15-tax-code Evanston sample is about 8.2% — below the countywide typical — but Evanston’s mix of lakefront homes, vintage apartment conversions, and university-area housing makes individual assessments harder to standardize than the rate suggests.
Evanston was reassessed in the North-suburbs 2025 cycle, so the current values are fresh — if yours came in high relative to the local median, the Board of Review window (a second, separate chance after the Assessor’s own appeal window) is the venue that matters between now and the 2028 reassessment.
Evanston Township tax rates, at a glance
Across a sample of 2,000 residential (Class 2) parcels in Evanston Township, spanning 15 distinct tax codes, the typical (median) composite tax rate is about 8.2% — ranging roughly 8.2%–8.3% depending on the exact overlapping school, municipal, and park districts for your parcel. Add your own 5-digit tax code above (under "More options") for your exact rate instead of this township typical.
How property tax appeals work in Evanston Township
The North suburbs' most recent reassessment was 2025, so Evanston Township's current values are already on the books — the Assessor's own 30-day appeal windows for that cycle have largely passed. What remains open is the Cook County Board of Review, which takes appeals in an annual window every year, reassessment year or not, until the next reassessment in 2028.
