There is only one Rescue Squad tax district in McHenry County.
The Marengo Rescue Squad’s Station No. 2.
It goes back to some probably-by-now almost forgotten disagreement between its then-members and the Marengo Fire Protection District.
In any event, the Rescue Squad has its own tax rate–20 cents per $100 of assessed valuation.
Last year the District balloon levied for $990,000, but were limited to $795,630 by the 20 cent rate.
Marengo residents need to wake up!
Same Chief for both, same members for both.
But yet, the chief and the trustees have figured out how to screw the taxpayers out of more money.
Kudos to them…..
