Taxation Rates in Effect Within the City of Warrenville 2025

When Are Property Taxes Collected?

In Illinois, property taxes are collected a year after they're assessed. For instance, taxes for 2024 are billed and payable in 2025. The amount you pay is based on your property's value and any exemptions you qualify for as of January 1, 2024.

Where Does Your Tax Money Go?

A significant portion of your property tax supports local school districts. For the 2024 tax year (paid in 2025), about 8.94% of your total property tax bill goes to the City of Warrenville. The rest funds other local services and districts.

How Is Your Tax Bill Calculated?

Two main factors determine your property tax:

1. Property's Assessed Value: Local township assessors estimate your property's market value based on its features and recent sales of similar homes in your area. Typically, the assessed value is one-third of the market value, minus any exemptions you qualify for.

2. Tax Rate: Each taxing district, like schools and the city, requests a certain amount of money (called a "levy") to fund their services. The combined needs of these districts determine the overall tax rate applied to your property's assessed value.
