This just in. Property tax rates are rising in Illinois. If you opened up an envelope from the state and got an unwelcome surprise about what you owe, the Land of Lincoln gave 4 different scenarios where big property tax bumps can happen.
With election season rolling around, chances are you won't see many incumbents featuring that fun fact in their campaign commercials, since our stunningly high tax rates are what's driving people out of Illinois to begin with.
If you're an Illinois homeowner, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you told me that you immediately thought "So does every ****ing person who owns a house in this state!"
