DISTRICT 202
Board approves $195 million 2017 property tax levy Request is $590,000 more than 2016’s; lion’s share for operational costs such as education, maintenance District 202 will ask the Will and Kendall County clerks for $195,031,960 in local property taxes (including bond and interest) through the district’s 2017 levy. This year’s request is about $590,000, or three-tenths of one percent more than last year’s levy. The Board held a public hearing on the proposed levy, as required by law, at its regular meeting December 18 and approved the levy later in that meeting. District officials project that the district’s total tax rate will fall from $5.89 per $100 of equalized assessed value (EAV) this year, to about $5.64 per $100 of EAV thanks to rising property values, and conservative budgeting. However, the actual tax rate cannot be determined until after the district’s EAV is finalized early next year.
