PROPERTY TAX RELIEF WORKSHOP, Tuesday March 8th, 7PM

PROPERTY TAX RELIEF WORKSHOP, Tuesday March 8th, 7PM at D'Andrea Banquets (Rt. 31 & Rt. 14). Free admission, but limited seating.

Illinois has one of the highest property taxes in the nation, but it’s likely the state will take the No. 1 spot in taxing homeowners very soon. For too many Illinois families, property taxes have become a second mortgage they can never pay off.

Join Illinois Policy and The Property Tax Show on AM560 The Answer as we discuss the drivers behind the state's record property taxes, policy recommendations for fixing the problem, and ways homeowners can lower their property-tax burden.

Illinois is losing more residents to other states than ever before.

Providing property-tax relief to homeowners and businesses is essential in stemming that tide, and reducing the growth and cost of government is a key part of keeping a lid on taxes.

Middle-class Illinoisans can only shoulder the ever-growing burden of property taxes for so long before leaving for greener pastures. State and local lawmakers must act to address the property tax crisis before it's too late.
