“Property taxes in Illinois are the second highest in the country with New Jersey being number one.”
“When I served the people of Barrington Hills as their Village President my Village Board and I reduced property taxes every year while I was in that office. The amount of taxes that you pay is also an “affordability” issue. Higher property taxes affect property values and for many, especially our senior citizens, their home is their nest egg. Know your rights when it comes to appeals and make sure that you hold those entities who are taxing you accountable.”
