| Property taxes are a burden to
all taxpayers, but even more so for seniors, many of who are living
on fixed incomes. Because of this, the Illinois General Assembly
has passed several laws over the years to help alleviate the property
tax burden for senior citizen property owners in Illinois. There
are four (4) major senior citizen property tax relief programs
available to senior citizens at this time. Click on each program
listed below for details on eligibility and the application process.
|
| The Bloomingdale Township Assessor's office has
a full-time senior citizen service department especially trained
to assist senior citizens in properly applying for these various
tax relief programs. Just call our Taxpayer Service Division at
630-529-6927 to schedule an appointment. (Appointments are necessary to avoid long waiting lines and to insure total focus for each
individual being served.) Our staff
has assisted hundreds of senior citizens in receiving all of the exemptions
and tax relief programs they qualify for and are entitled to. |
|
The amount of tax relief received varies from individual to individual
depending upon household income, current property taxes paid,
and which programs you qualify for. Regardless of how much relief
you qualify for, it is always helpful to save a few more dollars
on your property taxes.
|
| If you are not sure that you are
receiving all of the exemptions and tax relief you are entitled
to, please call or stop by and we will review your senior citizen
tax relief status and advise you accordingly. You worked hard
all your life and paid a lot of taxes over the years, so please
take advantage of these opportunities to save on your taxes now.
You've EARNED it!

Hank Gianvecchio, Bloomingdale Township Assessor |
