Pappas Reminds Property Owners to Avoid Penalties
The due date for First Installment property tax bills for tax year 2009 is next Tuesday, March 2, 2010, Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas said today.

Pappas said on-time payment can be made:
- Electronically, at cookcountytreasurer.com, until 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.
- At any of more than 380 Chase Bank locations, until the close of business Tuesday.
- From accounts at some 220 participating community banks, until the close of business Tuesday.
