The proposed 2025 Tax Levy will be recommended to the Board of Education for adoption during the regular Board meeting on Monday, December 15, 2025. The tax levy must be filed with County Clerks by the last Tuesday in December. The Township Assessor's determine property values. The County Clerks set the tax rates associated with property values. In order for the district to receive the maximum tax extensions, levy amounts must be estimated higher to account for the unknown factors in the process. Since the equalized assessed valuation (EAV) of property and new construction numbers are unknown at the time the levy is submitted, it is a common practice to establish a defensive levy. Regardless of the amount levied, the County Clerks will reduce levies as needed to ensure all taxing bodies comply with the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law. For Tax Year 2025, the district is entitled to an increase of 2.9% over the previous year for existing property.
