Municipal Tax Referendum
- On the November 6th election ballot, a "Public
Question On Property Tax For General Corporate Fund” will appear proposing
an additional tax of 0.0928% of the equalized assessed value of the taxable
property be assessed. A single family
residence & having a fair market value at the time of the referendum of
$100,000 is estimated to be $30.93. 100% Of This Tax Will Be
Used For Roads
- Should the Municipal Tax Referendum pass, the approximate amount
of taxes extendable is $259,917. The Mayor
and the Village Board have authorized an additional $1 million dollars from the
General Fund to be devoted to road repair, allowing for approximately 6 miles
of road repair over the next two years.
- Fixing roads before failure saves 30-50% in repair costs. If a road fails it will take longer to repair
and cost more.
