Mine actually went down this year. I appealed my assessment this past year as the Assessor was proposing a big increase in value for my home. Was able to get it lowered to less than the previous year.

Also, it seems my tax rate has decreased as well. That always helps!

edit - still agree that the tax rates are way too high...

 

[wombat]

Was Kane Co the one that royally fucked up last year? I think some of Bartlett was impacted, where their taxes were like 25% higher because the assessor f'd up.

Bartlett is chopped up between Cook and DuPage counties...

it was the section of elgin where kane county and cook county meet or something like that

yikes that is hefty. your house is more than double the size of mine though! that's a big crib.

 

[sickmint79]

i hope you have some kids or cats to send to school at least. i'm getting none of that benefit from my high taxes.

all farm land out by me, no concrete jungle but no concrete jungle tax revenue, have a 10 month old and its district 301 (burlington) and an elementary school 200 yards away but I don't know how long I will stick around IL.

purchased the house at 35% off the original taxed amount and made a N00b mistake thinking taxes would at least adjust down somewhat. That never happened.

 

[sickmint79]

i'm eager now to sell my house this summer and go more location independent. i will be happy to decouple myself from il property tax and perhaps income tax obligations going forward as well.

 

[10sec]

Yeah, f-this state. I want to GTFO ASAP.

Where do you live?

 

[skeezer]

i'll take the house off your hands for a reduced price to help you get out from under those burdensome taxes

elgin but next to pingree grove, actually it was pingree until elgin ran water/sewer to the subdivision and acquired it.

why is this important? elgin has emissions, pingree doesn't

you can buy a similar sized lake house down by me and the taxes would be half

You are pretty close to me. I was just wondering. My parents live in 301 schools as well and I'm sure that's a huge chunk of your taxes. And yeah no emissions FTW

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

301 is like 80%+ of the taxes, they are out of control and people are getting pissed.
