County Taking Less Property Tax Dollars This Year Than Last Year

Tax rates and levies have been published by the McHenry County Clerk’s Office so McHenry County Blog is going to do some comparisons to see which districts have been naughty and which have been nice.

McHenry County

Let’s start with McHenry County, which I already know has been nice to taxpayers.

Assessed valuation increased from to $6,919,462,532 to $7,075,931,695, a 1.6% increase.

The new McHenry County Board is composed of all Republicans.

The new McHenry County Board was composed of all Republicans.  Now Jeff Thorsen has replaced Ken Koehler.  Nick Provenzano is not in the photo.

Last year the extraction request from the County Board was $78,966,290.31.

This year it is $76,289,016.04.

That’s a cut of $2.6 million or 3.3%.

The tax rate in next month’s bills will be just under $1.08 per $100 of assessed valuation, while last year it was just over $1.14 per $100.

A six cent per $100 cut, so the rate is going down a bit over 5%.

That includes the 708 Mental Health Board levy, but not the Conservation District’s, which the County Board also approves.

That seems a little strange, so let’s next look at the MCCD.

McHenry County Conservation District

Last year the County Board-appointed Board requested $19,650,996.80.

This year, the number is slightly less–$19,583,206.46.

Last year the tax rate was a bit over 28 cents per $100 (.283996).

This year the tax rate is a bit under 28 cents per $100 (.276611).

That’s a cut of about three-quarters of a cent.

    of people abandoning, or planning on abandoning, the once great state of Illinois.

    Yet another record year for Two Men And A Truck is forecasted.

  3. Factor in that $41 million was new property.

    So the destruction of value of existing property continues.

  4. I sincerely hope that this will be the very last time I ever see Tina Hill in a governmental portrait!

    In 2012 my doctor diagnosed me with a chronic and advanced case of “Tina Hill Fatigue” and I’m prone to debilitating flare ups whenever I see her in person or pictorially, as here.

    With her recent political defenestration, the doctor said my prognosis was very good for at least a partial recovery.

    Now look, I’m not one for schadenfreude … her recent DUI arrest headlines laid me up for weeks!

  5. I took German, so I don’t need to look up the meaning of “Schadenfreude.”

  6. Isn’t the county taking $400,000 more than last year, taking into account $3 million valley hi levy abatement?

  7. The County levy was reduced by the $3 million not taken for Valley Hi.
