Chicago Cityscape has updated its Places database to reflect the 118th United States Congress, being sworn in today.
Illinois has 17 districts, down from 18, because of the 2020 Census apportionment.
There are four new Congresspersons.
1st - Jonathan Jackson. Chicago, Homer Glen, New Lenox, Frankfort
3rd - Delia Ramirez. Chicago, West Chicago, Bartlett, Wheaton
13th - Nikki Budzinski. Springfield, Decatur, Champaign, Granite City
17th - Eric Sorensen. Rockford, Peoria, Galesburg, Rock Island
Chicago Cityscape has added the latest quarter of property sales in Cook County. There were 35,283 sales recorded between July 1, 2022, and September 30, 2022. That is 3,277 fewer sales compared to 2022 Q2.
Browse all of the property sales in our database, which now goes back to 2015.
Bonus update: The property sales & transaction details page has been improved to spell out what were abbreviated characteristics, and include links to more information.
For example, buyer and seller names are linked so that you can find other sales they may have been part of. Another new characteristic is indicating the land use that the parties indicated on their PTAX submission; previously only the letter referring to a specific use on the form was shown which was only helpful to those who regularly use PTAX forms.
The Cook County Treasurer is catching up on the annual tax sales and this will be the second annual tax sale conducted in 2022. The first, for properties delinquent since 2019 would normally have been held in 2021, but the COVID pandemic deferred that to be held in May 2022.
The upcoming annual tax sale, starting November 15, 2022, is for properties with delinquent taxes since 2020. Registration closed last Friday.
Chicago Cityscape has integrated data about the 23,834 properties in Chicago and their tax certificates that will be auctioned off starting next week. The number is subject to decrease as property owners pay off their taxes before their property's scheduled auction date. (Other municipalities may be added, subject to data availability.)
Access the data in two ways:
1. Property Finder within Place Snapshot. Look up a community area or ZIP code, or draw a Personal Place, and open Property Finder. Then select the "2020 annual tax sale (in Nov. 2022)" radio button option and select the "Apply filters" button.
2. Address Snapshots for PIN-based lookups will identify the property as being included in the Annual Tax sale. Firstly, a label will appear in the table of contents. Secondly, the Property & Ownership info section will have information under the heading "2020 annual tax sale (in Nov. 2022)".
