Halbrook: Our Residents Cannot Afford Higher Property Taxes

Decades of poor public policy has led to Illinoisans paying the highest property taxes in the nation. Our residents just simply cannot afford it. Illinois needs structural reform today.

To combat this, Rep. Halbrook has filed three bills to deliver property tax relief to residents across
the state.

• HB 1495: Creates a property tax relief pilot program
• HB 1496: Caps property tax evaluations
• HB 1497: Limits home rule property tax increases statewide

"Illinoisans are begging for property tax relief," said Rep. Halbrook. "But instead of addressing the root causes of skyrocketing property taxes, the Democrats in Springfield ignore the problems and are negligent in the continued rise of property taxes in Illinois that are driving people out of our great state. My legislation would immediately provide relief for Illinois families."
