Kifowit To Host Property Tax Appeal Event

OSWEGO, IL—While property tax bills will be in mailboxes soon, one local lawmaker is looking to help constituents navigate the appeal process. At 6 p.m. May 16 at the Aurora Public Library—Eola Branch, 555 S. Eola Rd., the office of state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit hopes to host an event where people can get one-on-one assistance understanding and appealing their property tax bills.

The event is free and open to residents of Kane, DuPage, Kendall and Will counties.

“Skyrocketing property taxes are making it increasingly difficult for families to afford to stay in their own homes,” Kifowit said in a release. “As a member of the House Revenue Committee, I’m examining long-term solutions to burdensome property taxes and new ways the state can help homeowners save money. I’m also looking forward to this event with Assessor Dixon to provide a step-by-step overview of the assessment process and available exemptions.”

During the event, Kifowit and Dixon plan on talking about the appeal process and provide information on property exemptions and relief programs.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their most recent property tax bill and any related documentation to receive one-on-one assistance.

For information or to RSVP, contact Kifowit’s constituent service office at 630-585-1308 or RSVP@ILDistrict84.com.

“This event will help local families review their property tax bills, decide when to appeal and learn how to navigate that process,” Kifowit said in a release. “Any homeowner who believes their property tax bill is too high is encouraged to come and learn about the appeals process and how to make their case.”
