Forest Preserve District Lowers Property Tax Rate

Most DuPage County residents can expect to see an increase of less than $10 on the Forest Preserve District’s portion of next year’s tax bill under a new tax levy unanimously approved by the Board of Commissioners on Tuesday.

The owners of a home with a $270,000 market value will pay $106.38 to the district on their 2008 property tax bill, which is paid in 2009. The same owners would have paid about $100.42 this year, assuming a 6 percent appreciation in their property value. (More)
