State representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) recently filed his Property Tax Relief Bill Package. This package includes four bills aimed at lowering the property tax burden on Illinois residents.
“Illinois has the highest property taxes in the nation,” said Rep. Davis. “Time and time again, I hear from constituents their number one issue is property taxes. This problem has gone unaddressed for far too long – which is why I am committed to working across the aisle to provide real solutions to the people of Illinois.”
This bill package includes:
•House Bill 4290: Increases transparency for taxpayers by requiring property tax bills to clearly show who is responsible for the taxes being levied and where tax dollars are going. The bill also includes tools, such as a QR code, allowing residents to quickly access contact information and tax bill history.
•House Bill 4299: Creates the School Spending Efficiency and Relief Act to create more budgetary efficiency and transparency when school districts hire administrators.
•House Bill 4317: Keeps property taxes stable by limiting how much a taxing district can raise property tax assessments.
•House Bill 4320: Keeps property taxes stable by limiting how much a taxing district can raise property tax levies.
Davis concluded, “Property tax relief should be bipartisan. I am hopeful my colleagues across the aisle will come to the table and work together on this legislation to address the top issue in our State.”
