Andrea A. Raila & Associates has for more than 16 years consulted with and assisted taxpayers in researching and preparing evidence and documentation to support property tax appeals.

The company also educates the public on how they can appeal on their own without using a lawyer or consultant, and advocates for public policy reforms that make the assessment and appeals system more accurate, equitable, accessible and transparent.

For commercial businesses and multi-unit family rental properties your fair share of property tax payments should only mean turning over 25% or less of the gross or potential rental income the property generates.

Andrea Raila has had years of government experience as a Cook County Board of Review property tax case decision-maker.  She was the business and community liaison in the city of Chicago's Department of Revenue's Taxpayer Advocate Office.  Now in private practice she is a strong advocate for property taxpayers and has fought for an open and understandable statewide property tax system for years.

Raila & Associates, Inc. provides property tax appeal services for all property types in Cook County, Illinois and its "collar counties", and in the State of Indiana.
