The Truth in Taxation law establishes procedures taxing districts must follow in the adoption of their property tax levies; see 35 ILCS 200/18-55. The Truth in Taxation law requires a taxing district to compare the amount of its proposed aggregate property tax levy, to the amount of taxes extended for the district in the prior year. A notice must be published in a newspaper and a public hearing must be held, if the proposed aggregate tax levy is more than 5% greater then the previous year’s tax extension.
A public hearing to approve a proposed property tax levy increase for the Wilmette Park District for 2025 will be held on December 8 at 7:30 p.m. at 1200 Wilmette Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091.
