Property Taxes
For the 2020 Tax Levy Year (payable in 2021) the United City of Yorkville accounts for approximately 6% of your overall property tax bill. This means that for every $1 paid in property taxes, the City receives six cents.
How is my property tax bill calculated?
Property taxes are calculated as follows:Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV)/100 x Tax Rate = Amount of Tax Due
The Equalized Assessed Valuation (EAV) of your property is determined by your township assessor and is equal to one-third of your property's fair market value, less any exemption(s) you receive. As an example, a property with a fair market value of $250,000, as determined by the township assessor, would have an EAV of $83,333.33. A homestead exemption of $6,000 would further reduce EAV to $77,333.33. Assuming a tax rate of $9.8487 per $100 of EAV, the amount of property tax due would be $7,616.30, calculated as follows:
$77,333.33/100 x $9.8487 = $7,616.30
Of this amount due, the United City of Yorkville would receive $454.87 (6%)
