Why DuPage County residential property owners could see increase on tax bills
Updated 5/3/2021 10:09 AM
With commercial vacancies on the rise, DuPage County homeowners and landlords could see an increase in their 2020 property tax bills as residential sites bear a greater percentage of the tax burden.
When tax bills start arriving this week, property owners can expect an average jump of about 3.18%, despite a 0.62% decline in the average tax rate, County Treasurer Gwen Henry said. That s mostly because residential valuation is outpacing commercial, she said.
Levy increases by local municipalities, schools or other taxing bodies also could result in a higher amount owed, she added.
