The Property Tax Appeal Board (PTAB or Board) is a quasi-judicial body made up of five Board Members
appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, and a professional staff to aid the Board.
The PTAB was created in 1967 to provide an unbiased forum for taxpayers and taxing bodies outside of Cook
County that are dissatisfied with property assessments. In 1997, the PTAB's jurisdiction was expanded to
include all Counties in Illinois. The Board primarily considers appeals after decisions from County Boards of
Review. The burden of proof before the Board is "a preponderance of the evidence" when market value is the
basis of the appeal or "clear and convincing evidence" when unequal treatment in the assessment process is the
basis of the appeal. The Board will only determine the correct assessment of property on appeal based on
equity and the weight of the evidence. The amount of the tax bill or the tax rate used in the computation is
determined by local county officials and may not be appealed to the Board. Likewise, the Board has no
jurisdiction to exempt property from taxation.
