A new study released by Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas showed a drastic increase in property taxes over the last 20 years, WLS/Channel 7 reports.
The study revealed the properties in Chicago and the suburbs with the largest property tax increases since 2000.
Pappas said the only way to change the property tax rate is to vote.
"If you don't exercise your right to vote, then you have no right to complain about how property taxes have climbed since 2000," Pappas said.
