McAsey Sponsoring Program on How to Lower Property Tax Bills

To provide residents the latest information on the assessment process and tax exemptions that may lower property tax bills, state Rep. Emily McAsey is partnering with Rhonda Novak, the Will County Supervisor of Assessments, for an Understanding Your Property Tax Bill presentations which will be held on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lockport City Hall, 222 W. 9th Street, Lockport. 

“The process used to compute an individual’s property tax bill can be quite complicated,” McAsey said.  “That is why I’m partnering with the Supervisor of Assessments to make sure residents are fully informed about what calculations go into your property tax bill and are aware of the many tax exemptions available to help lower the tax burden.” 

The presentation by the Office of the Supervisor of Assessments will include information about assessed valuations of property and helpful tax exemptions including: the senior citizens’ assessment freeze, the general homestead exemption, the disabled veterans’ homestead exemption, and the disabled persons’ exemption.
