One more reason to watch for your property tax bills like a hawk. Cook County mistakenly applied payments on another home’s taxes to Jeremiah Davidson’s home and told him his bill was paid. A county employee later discovered the error, corrected it, but never informed Davidson of his new balance. Meanwhile, the county sold the property in a tax sale without Davidson’s knowledge. Fortunately, due the persistence of his nephew, the county settled with Davidson and will pay him $190,000 for his home.
