Cook County Treasurer Goes Paperless!
By E. Christopher Caravette
February 18, 2017
Like many credit card companies, the Cook County Treasurer now offers eBilling to taxpayers. Beginning with the 2016 2nd Installment Tax Bill (which will issue this summer), you can receive your tax bills via electronic mail.
To participate, all you need to do is create an eBilling account at www.cookcountytreasurer.com. The eBilling service is free and will allow you to link to your online bill where you can view details and make online payments.
Once you are registered, you will no longer receive tax bills via the U.S. Postal Service.
In addition to sending tax bills by email, the Treasurer will also send you a reminder prior to the due date of each installment.
This service is especially helpful if you keep track of multiple tax bills. You can register up to ten (10) properties per eBilling account.
Some of the benefits of this new service include:
- It saves paper and postage
- It provides a permanent electronic record
- It provides convenient access to pay online
- You won’t have to worry about late or lost mail
