DUPAGE COUNTY PROPERTY TAX ALERT
DuPage County Homeowners Are Paying More And Getting Less
Your community needs leaders, not politicians. Just neighbors who care enough to demand accountability from Springfield and local taxing bodies that keep raising your bill.
DuPage Is Facing Tough Economic Challenges
On a $400,000 DuPage County home, property taxes run roughly $7,800 to $8,800 per year before exemptions. The 2025 total levy hit $3.75 billion, and the average tax bill still climbed 3.83% with no relief in sight.
DuPage County's effective property tax rate of 2.16% is more than double the national median of 1.02%. In Naperville, homeowners paid property taxes at a rate of 2% of their home's value, over 2.3 times the national average. DuPage residents aren't getting twice the services, they're subsidizing decades of mismanaged government finances.
Assessed values in DuPage County rose 8.2%, yet the average tax bill climbed 3.83%. Homeowners are paying more every year despite increasing property values, as local taxing bodies and Springfield continue to shift the burden onto residents.
The Illinois State Board of Education paused roughly $50 million in Property Tax Relief Grant funding. Meanwhile, local districts are pursuing referendum after referendum, forcing DuPage homeowners to absorb the cost of state inaction and local spending.
