โœ“Our honest take

Where you live changes your odds a lot. A Chicago homeowner who appealed in 2024 was about 1.7 times as likely to win as one in Skokie.

But even in the best of these towns, about 74 out of every 100 appeals got nothing. So before you spend an afternoon on paperwork, it's worth a minute to check which side of the line you're on.
