PROPOSED ORDINANCE

 

PROPERTY TAX BILL MODIFICATION PROPOSAL TO ELUCIDATE

THE DISBURSEMENT OF MONIES TO TAXING AGENCIES

 

WHEREAS, in Cook County, the County Treasurer, among other duties, oversees the property tax collection and distribution system and is responsible for printing and mailing bills based on the data provided by other county and state agencies on assessments, exemptions and tax rates, as well as the collection of $9 billion each year in taxes from the owners of more than 1.6 million parcels of property; and

 

 

 

 

 

WHEREAS, the Treasurer is also tasked with the distribution of the collected tax funds to approximately 1,700 local government agencies that have the jurisdiction to collect taxes, including school districts, villages, cities, townships, park and forest preserve systems, libraries, public health and safety agencies, election authorities, economic-development agencies and bonds to pay for public-works projects; and

 

WHEREAS, it is of paramount importance that the taxpayers of the County of Cook understand how their tax dollars are distributed and used; and

 

WHEREAS, the County Real Estate Property Tax Bill, as currently fashioned, is a source of confusion for many taxpayers; and

 

WHEREAS, simple modifications to the current bill format can be implemented in order to properly and more accurately reflect the disbursement of property tax monies to the corresponding government agencies; and

 

WHEREAS, the proposed modifications include the following: Title – “Consolidated Property Tax Bill”, Categories – created and titled by taxing body, Percentages – next to each category and each tax item, Totals – next to each category and a grand total; and

 

WHEREAS, these modifications will assist in improving government transparency and understanding of said tax bill, empowering residents with the information necessary to make more informed decisions on how their hard-earned tax dollars are spent;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, by the Cook County Board of Commissioners that Chapter 2 Administration, Division 4 Treasurer, Section 2-242 of the Cook County Code is hereby enacted as follows:

 

Sec. 2-242.     Consolidated property tax bill; additional information to be included on property tax bill.

 

In addition to all information currently on the second installment of property tax bills in Cook County, the tax bills shall also include a title “Consolidated Property Tax Bill.”  The tax bills shall also include a column titled “Percentage of Total Tax Bill.”  The “Percentage of Total Tax Bill” column will show, for each taxing district, the percentage of the total tax bill that each taxing district makes up, using the current tax year dollar amount.  The column, “Taxing District”, shall be broken out into the following categories:  “County”, “Municipal”, “School Districts” and “Other”, and each taxing district shall be listed within one of the four categories.  Each category shall have a subtotal, both in dollar amount and percentage, and there shall be a grand total under the four categories.  These modifications will be implemented provided that they fall within the current constraints of the property tax bill, which allows a maximum of twenty-five lines.

 

Effective date:  This Ordinance shall be effective upon adoption.

 

*     Referred to the Committee on Finance on 10/1/08.

**   Deferred in Committee 11/5/08.
