KANE COUNTY, IL — The Kane County Board approved a roughly $2.3 million increase in the county's property tax levy for taxes to be paid in 2027.

The total levy will be about $64.9 million, with nearly $40 million going to the county's general fund, the Aurora Beacon-News is reporting. The increase is part of the county's effort to address budget problems and avoid continuing to rely on cash reserves to balance its budget.
