Will Your South Suburban Property Tax Bill Sharply Rise in 2024 and Beyond? The Truth about Illinois Property Taxes.



A lot of information has circulated via various social media platforms and mainstream media over the last few months regarding the potential for drastically higher Illinois property tax bills that will become due in 2024 and beyond. 


For the South Suburbs specifically, an increase in the property tax bill may seem alarming, and frightening quite frankly for some, because property taxes are already seemingly exorbitantly high.   


There are a few reliable and accurate sources available for the public to help explain property taxes, as an example, a 39-page Property Tax primer written by the Treasurer's office, but in today’s busy society, many citizens don’t get an opportunity to read through all the information. 


As a fully engaged, civically active South Suburban property taxpayer for more than 20 years, I can assure you that there is a significant amount of incorrect information circulated, sometimes even at the government level.


Nevertheless, I have prepared a short video to help taxpayers, specifically South Suburban taxpayers, understand how the property tax bill is determined…not to mention help you determine if your future bills will skyrocket as has been purported.


If you are a South Suburban homeowner and have questions about your Property Tax Bill, please take a moment to review the Illinois Property Tax Primer.  If you are a resident of Country Club Hills, IL., I encourage you to reach out to me for a full review of your Property Tax Bill.
