Chicago homeowners face some of the highest property tax rates in the nation. Cook County reassesses properties every three years, and a new roof can increase your assessed value. This does not mean you should avoid replacing your roof, but it does mean you need to factor potential tax increases into your budget when evaluating roofing payment plans. A $20,000 roof replacement might add $1,000 to $2,000 to your annual property tax bill depending on your neighborhood and current assessment. Plan for this when choosing loan terms. A longer repayment period with lower monthly payments gives you flexibility if your tax bill jumps after reassessment.

We have worked with families in Lincoln Square, Pilsen, Hyde Park, and across the city who balance roof replacement costs with rising property taxes, insurance premiums, and utility bills.
