Property Tax Appeals Consultant (IL - Cook County)

Property Tax Appeals Advisor Hourly (Contract Based) - $75 to 100 / Hour We’re a rapidly growing technology company that helps homeowners save on the financial elements of homeownership. Today, we have tens of thousands of homeowners on our platform. As we expand into Illinois (specifically Cook County), we’re seeking an experienced Property Tax Advisor to guide our team on navigating regulatory and operational requirements. This is a contract-based, hourly consulting role ideal for someone who’s an expert within Illinois' property tax protesting system and can serve as a trusted guide during early-phase market entry. If interested, there’s also an opportunity for this to transition into a mutually beneficial partnership with Abode to help us fill out our property tax product in Illinois. Today, we’re partnered with blue chip home financial services companies such as: USAA, Lemonade, Compass, Nerdwallet, CreditKarma, Monarch Money, Consumer Reports, Thumbtack, and many others. What You’ll Help With As an advisor, you will support our internal team with: • Regulatory insight: Clarifying state statutes, administrative processes, and compliance obligations for property tax protests. • County-specific knowledge: Advising on local nuances for major counties. • Filing processes: Guiding us through how and when to file petitions (TRIM notices, deadlines, evidence, etc.) — including online vs. paper submission requirements. • Hearing procedures: Sharing insights on the hearing process and best practices for protest preparation. ✅ Who We’re Looking For You’re a great fit if you: • Have direct experience working within the property tax ecosystem — either with your own practice, part of an established firm, or local government. • Understand county-specific procedures, deadlines, and rules, particularly for Cook County. • Are an innovative thinker. We know there are established (regulated) ways of doing things in property tax. However, we need someone who has a keen eye for taking an innovative approach while still adhering to local guidelines. • Are available to consult on an as-needed, hourly basis via phone or Zoom. Why This Role Matters We’re on a mission to make homeownership more affordable for homeowners. Your guidance will play a critical role in helping us expand into new states smoothly and responsibly — ensuring we build on a strong, compliant foundation. This is a flexible, high-impact opportunity to contribute your expertise without full-time commitment. Interested in advising us? We’d love to connect! Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
