Tax Levies

Taxing districts shall file with the county clerk within 30 days of their adoption a certified copy of its appropriation and budget, as well as an estimate, certified, of the revenues by source, anticipated to be received in the following year.

Taxing districts must certify their levies to the county clerk by the last Tuesday in December. With the levy certificate, a statement must be filed stating the taxing district is in compliance with truth in taxation or that the provision is not applicable.

The taxing district is responsible for the accurate and timely filing of documents. Failure to file the required documents shall authorize the county clerk to refuse to extend the tax levy imposed.
