IV. PUBLIC HEARING regarding AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE LEVY OF TAXES FOR THE VILLAGE OF ANTIOCH, LAKE COUNTY, STATE OF ILLINOIS, FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING MAY 1, 2021 AND ENDING APRIL 30, 2022 – Director McCarthy explained that this hearing is held in compliance with the truth in taxation law. She stated that the amount levied does not translate to an increase in taxes. She said that they are simply requesting more funding, but it will not increase the taxes to taxpayers. The proposed levy requests $4.4 million based on the EAV of the properties in Antioch. Because she does not know the assessed value, she has to estimate the levy amount. If it is underestimated, money will not be given to the Village. She further explained that the Village of Antioch is a tax-capped community, and the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (PTELL) caps the increase at 5% or a change in the CPI, whichever is less.
Trustee Dominiak asked if this could be put on the website or social media to better explain to the residents.
Trustee Pedersen moved, seconded by Trustee Dominiak to close the public hearing on an Ordinance Providing for the Levy of Taxes for the Village of Antioch, Lake County, State of Illinois, for the fiscal year beginning May 1, 2021 and ending April 30, 2022. Upon roll call, the vote was:
YES: 6: Pierce, Macek, Pedersen, Bluthardt, Burman and Dominiak.
NO: 0.
ABSENT: 0.
THE MOTION CARRIED.
V. ADJOURNMENT
