JOLIET – The Will County Board voted to provide relief to property taxpayers at their May Board Meeting. Over the course of the last month, the board looked at ways to help ease the burden on residents who are suffering financial and medical hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic. While options for providing property tax relief are limited by state law, the county is able to delay the due date for half of each payment by 60 days.
This essentially means that instead of two property tax installments, residents have the option to pay their property taxes in four installments.
“We examined our options for easing the financial burden on residents during the COVID-19 pandemic and this was a way for us to provide relief quickly,” said Speaker of the Board Denise Winfrey (D-Joliet).
