The night before last I put together the numbers from the 2015 tax bills for pretty much each tax district in McHenry County with those for 2016.
Because the tax year is one year behind the year in which taxes are collected, what you see below compares taxes collected last year with those which will be collected this year.
If you would like to peruse the source documents, you can find 2015’a here and 2016’s here. If you find any mistakes please let me know so I can correct them.
