Symposium Overview

Illinois Property Assessment Institute is excited to announce the development of our first “Legal Symposium on Property Assessment.” This symposium seeks to bring together Illinois legal community members who specialize in property tax with assessment valuation and administration professionals.

The Legal Symposium will be a one-day event that includes both general session speakers and smaller breakout sessions. Presentations will feature some of the best and brightest in property tax law and assessment who will speak about assessment administration, appraisals, and appeals within the context of both best practices and Illinois state statute.

Registration will open in June.
