Which of the following statements about Illinois property assessment is FALSE?

Correct Answer

D) Residential property in Cook County is commonly assessed at 25% of estimated market value.

Option D is false. Under Cook County's classification system, residential property (Class 2) is assessed at 10% of estimated market value — not 25%. Stating 25% for residential property incorrectly applies the commercial/industrial assessment level to the residential class.

Answer Options
A
Business and industrial property in Cook County is commonly assessed at 25% of estimated market value.
B
Cook County uses a classification-based assessment system rather than the uniform one-third level applied in all other Illinois counties.
C
Equalized assessed value is the assessed value after application of the state equalization factor, before subtracting qualifying homestead exemptions.
D
Residential property in Cook County is commonly assessed at 25% of estimated market value.
