Per Executive Order 2020-3, issued by President Preckwinkle, to protect the health and safety of our staff and customers, and to help mitigate the impact of COVID-19, essential functions of government will continue while protecting the public and our workforce through a reduction of the footprint in the County Building.

Starting March 18, 2020 and until further notice, we will be temporarily closed to the public. To make any tax, fine or fee payments, please pay online (where available) or by US Mail. In person payments will not be available during this time. We will continue to service our taxpayers, but with limited availability. If you have any further questions, please call us at (312) 603-6961 (limited staff) and/or please email ccdor@cookcountyil.gov or revenuecompliance@cookcountyil.gov. Staff will be working to respond to all email inquiries.
