Valuation of the county's 1.8 million parcels of property is conducted to ascertain the amount of taxes that will be required to be paid based on the value of the property in question. To administer this task, the Assessor reassesses one-third of the properties located in the county each year. The Assessor alternates assessments among the northern suburbs, the southern suburbs and the City of Chicago.

This was a tough one because both Fritz and Pat Hynes seem like capable people. I believe that Fritz has done a good job in a challenging position, and I want to give him some more time.
