Property Tax Information
Property
owners in Illinois pay property taxes which fund various levels of
government. The process of assessing the value of property,
determining exemptions, calculating tax bills, and collecting the
funds involves several departments.
Property
tax is a local tax assessed by the County (or township). Revenues
from property tax are collected and spent at the local level for
public safety, schools, roads, sewers, parks, libraries, and other
essential services.
