Illinois Property Taxes Make Biggest Jump in 30 Years Thanks to New Backdoor Tax Hike

WARNER TODD HUSTON  |  10 Dec 2023

The state of Illinois has some of the highest property taxes in the country and this year that number climbed, with some homeowners seeing a near 30-percent rise year over year in their tax burden.

Last year, Illinois had the second highest rate of property taxes in the country — topped only by New Jersey — with an annual average burden of $4,942 per home. But with the changes made this year, it seems likely that Illinois may claim the top spot for the worst property taxes anywhere.

Property taxes exploded in the Land of Lincoln in 2023. According to a recent study by Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas’ office, property owners saw the largest tax increase in thirty years.

Some of the towns in Cook that rose the worst were Schiller Park at 29.7% and Des Plaines at 28.7%. Many others saw between eight and 20 percent hikes. Overall, property taxes in the county rose 5.4 percent going from $16.7 billion last year to $17.6 billion this year.  .  .

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.
