📬 PROPERTY TAXES ARE ARRIVING — DON’T FORGET TO CHECK FOR EXEMPTIONS! 🏡

Many homeowners across Illinois are opening their property tax bills and noticing a significant increase this year. One thing that may help reduce your taxable value is making sure you’re receiving every exemption you qualify for.

Some common exemptions include:

✔️ Owner Occupied Homestead Exemption
✔️ Senior Citizen Homestead Exemption
✔️ Senior Freeze Exemption
✔️ Disabled Veteran Exemption
✔️ Disabled Person Exemption
✔️ Returning Veteran Exemption
✔️ Home Improvement Exemption
✔️ Tenant Homestead Exemption

(See attached image for more details and qualifications.)

Also, remember this:

Your property taxes are based in part on your home’s assessed market value. If you believe the market value listed on your assessment is too high — meaning you realistically could not sell your home for that amount — you may be able to appeal the assessment or request a review through your county assessor’s office.

Since assessed value is generally based on a percentage of market value, a lower assessed market value could potentially lower your property taxes as well.

💡 It never hurts to:
• Review your exemptions
• Double-check your assessed value
• Contact your local assessor with questions

If anyone has questions about how assessments, market values, or exemptions work, feel free to reach out — I’d be happy to help point you in the right direction!

Watching Kelsey and Auston become first-time homeowners has been such a special moment, and knowing they’ll be growing their family and making so many memories in this home makes it even more meaningful. There’s just something so beautiful about seeing family step into a new chapter filled with love, excitement, and new beginnings.

I’m beyond proud of you both and so thankful I got to be part of this journey. Your new home is going to be filled with so much laughter, love, and precious memories for years to come. Congratulations on your first home and this exciting season ahead — you both deserve it so much. 🤍🔑
