Most property owners in District 300 can expect to pay more in taxes after the District 300 board of education approved a $20 million increase to its property tax levy during Monday's meeting, according to the Northwest Herald. The levy increase "is tied to declining state funding, increasing government mandates and rising student enrollment," according to the article. Projections show the increase will mean the owner of a $200,000 home will pay the schools district $144 in property taxes in 2013, according to the NW Herald.

The Algonquin Committee of a Whole met last Tuesday.
The Algonquin Village Board will vote Tuesday on whether to decrease the property tax levy in Algonquin by 1 percent. Last year the board OK’d a 1 percent decrease in the tax levy and village manager William Ganek said he would like to see Algonquin continue with that trend. He also explained during theTuesday committee of a whole meeting that even if Algonquin decreases its levy, that does not mean the property tax rate will essentially go down.

With the economy and housing market still struggling, Algonquin Finance …

For the first time in recent years, village officials are considering a decrease in the property tax levy extension for the upcoming year.

Levy reflects increase to property taxes
Community High School District 155 unanimously approved the passage of the 2010 tax levy at its Dec. 14 board meeting. The levy reflects a 4.3 percent increase in the school district portion of property tax bills for residents of the district which includes Cary-Grove High School, Prairie Ridge High School and Crystal Lake south and central high schools, but will likely yield 3.4 percent additional revenue. Assistant Superintendent Business and Finance John Lutsch advised the increase would mean a homeowner with a $200,000 home would pay approximately $33 more next year over this year's tax bill. For the owner of a $300,000 home it would mean a $54 increase. The funds brought in by the tax levy will fund the 2011- 2012 school year budget. …

District 300 is a bunch of criminals. How can they by the stroke of a pen raise my taxes by over $700 on a $300K home? (The above estimate is way off! I just looked at my actual tax bill... homeowners will be in shock.) It's time to fight back against arbitrary taxation without representation. more ›
