4. MAYOR&BOARD OF TRUSTEES' REPORT -
Mayor Johnson- Mayor Johnson addressed the reason for the recent increase in the Village portion of
the property tax bills. The Village taxes by dollar amount. In previous years,the business park was a
large portion of the tax bill assessed valuation compared to the residents. Residents are now becoming a
bigger part of the total Village assessed valuation. For example,the approximate assessed valuation
breakdown was as follows:
• 20 Years ago,the residential percentage was at 25% - commercial business side was at 75%.
• In 2013, the residential side was 33% - the business side was at 67%.
• In 2016, the last assessment,the residential side was at 38% - the business side was at 62%.
A common complaint in Cook County is that businesses pay a lot more than the residents,which is
reverse in some of the surrounding communities. Cook County is trying to equalize the property taxes to
bring those numbers closer. Another factor is the Senior Freeze Exemption has doubled over the past
year with the senior population increasing in Elk Grove. The Village held the line as announced earlier in
the year,but the school districts and park district portions have also affected the increase. More
information will be in an upcoming newsletter.
