Property tax bills payable July and September, 2010 have been mailed out in Kankakee County.  Here is information on what 17 taxing bodies in the area are taxing us. OUTRAGE did a Freedom of Information request on 28, well below the total in the county.

The Tax Cap law CPI which applies to this year's property tax bill for the portion that is for operations is 0.1% or 1/10 of one percent.  The amount of increase taxing bodies receive above this figure depends on how much new construction was added to their tax rolls since last year.   Taxing bodies only get the maximum increase allowed under the Tax Cap Law if they ask for it.   They can ask for less but few do.  The portion of the property tax bill for operations includes everything but the debt service portion.  Debt service payments are set when debt is assumed.  The CPI which will apply to property tax bills payable next year, 2011 will be considerably higher.  It will be 2.7%

The City of Kankakee is a Home Rule community so the Tax Cap Law does not apply to them.  The property tax dollar amounts listed below came from the County Clerk's office through a Freedom of Information request.  If you like this kind of information which is not provide anywhere else, please send a donation to help cover our costs.  Make checks payable to OUTRAGE and mail to 2943 Chippewa Dr. Bourbonnais, 60914
