Assessor Kaegi has mismanaged exemptions, missed new construction, and caused late tax bills, increasing taxes for all property owners. Early voting is open, vote Pat Hynes.

Business, real estate, and labor are united in warning that Fritz Kaegi’s failures are increasing taxes and stalling growth. Read our Letter to the Editor with our co-authors, the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce, IUOE Local 399, and SEIU Local 1: https://t.co/ZOcMqkwUdF

BOMA/Chicago statement on the City of Chicago passing a balanced budget for FY2026: https://t.co/2MFBW2TAId

[BOMA/Chicago @BOMAChicago]

Chicago deserves a budget that strengthens our city—not one that risks jobs or strains neighborhoods. Mayor Johnson’s proposal relies on harmful taxes and shaky finances, while City Council offers responsible alternatives. It’s time for better solutions. https://t.co/Qh0nU07vE2

Illinois faces a new $80B pension bomb in SB1937, which ensures higher taxes & fewer services by unwinding pension reforms. Tell lawmakers to reject SB1937 and protect fiscal progress. #TaxpayerAlert https://t.co/ZwTseeLajk

[BOMA/Chicago @BOMAChicago]

The @chicagotribune highlights how Assessor Kaegi overlooks downtown’s struggles and the real drivers of rising property taxes—like CPS levy hikes adding $80M+ yearly. We need solutions, not division. https://t.co/9nMc7lNBfM

[BOMA/Chicago @BOMAChicago]

Appreciate Commissioner Cardenas’s @CrainsChicago op-ed highlighting the real drivers of rising property taxes—like levy hikes and downtown’s ongoing challenges. Let’s focus on facts, not blame. https://t.co/aYao6mlJyp

Cook County’s unpredictable property tax system is placing a disproportionate burden on commercial properties and driving investors away. BOMA/Chicago’s Director of Government and External Affairs, Amy Masters, addressed these concerns in @TRDNY article: https://t.co/d3TrMeCDoW

Sterling Burnett, property management apprentice at @SterlingBay, joined BOMA/Chicago's Rob Johnson at an event for Alderman Chris Taliaferro, Chairman of the Police and Fire Committee. Events like these provide a valuable opportunity to engage with leaders shaping our city.

New study confirms: Assessor Kaegi inaccurately over-assesses office (+ industrial & retail) in the city. Relief granted by the Board of Review greatly improved assessment accuracy in 2021. Further confirmation that our property tax system needs reform. https://t.co/GmhtoQ2WvL

While Boston’s latest reassessment shows downtown office values down $450M, the Cook County Assessor still reflects a 28-65% increase for Chicago's downtown office buildings since the pandemic. https://t.co/Id6fDYEa1M

[BOMA/Chicago @BOMAChicago]

Farzin Parang discusses with @CrainsChicago how the Assessor is attempting to increase values for downtown office buildings by an average of 28-65% since the pandemic, despite downtown building sales reflecting an average loss of value of 70%. https://t.co/f6E57dbdJb

The LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative marks a significant investment in Chicago's future, and we're honored to collaborate with the City on this project. @ChicagosMayor revealed the four finalists for the affordable housing projects near LaSalle Street. https://t.co/gIhxc5bskl

Educate others about Mayor Johnson’s Bring Chicago Home plan and make your voice heard tomorrow on Election Day. #VoteNo to the Transfer Tax Referendum located at the end of your ballot. https://t.co/bDfgFX2gCM

[BOMA/Chicago @BOMAChicago]

Did you know a transfer tax increase was implemented in Los Angeles? Commercial development took a major hit, and the projected revenues have not materialized. We can't afford to make the same mistake in Chicago. #VoteNo on the transfer tax referendum! https://t.co/NCbfPVkBd5

.@BOMAChicago and other real estate, construction and business interests sue to block public vote on the so-called 'mansion tax' - which would take a bigger cut from big property sales to help the poor https://t.co/f416OGbXK8 by @Tessa_Weinberg & @MariahWoelfel of @WBEZpolitics
