Proposition Question that impacts Sugar Grove Voters:
(Sugar Grove Public Library)
Proposition to Increase Limiting Rate
Shall the limiting rate under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law for the Sugar Grove Public Library District, Kane County, Illinois, be increased by an additional amount equal to 0.147% above the limiting rate for library purposes for levy year 2021 and be equal to 0.271% of the equalized assessed value of the taxable property therein for levy year 2023?
YES or NO
(1) The approximate amount of taxes extendable at the most recently extended limiting rate is $690,107, and the approximate amount of taxes extendable if the proposition is approved is $1,508,217.
(2) For the 2023 levy year the approximate amount of the additional tax extendable against property containing a single family residence and having a fair market value at the time of the referendum of $100,000 is estimated to be $49.
(3) If the proposition is approved, the aggregate extension for 2023 will be determined by the limiting rate set forth in the proposition, rather than the otherwise applicable limiting rate calculated under the provisions of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (commonly known as the Property Tax Cap Law).
“After a nine-year hiatus, the Sugar Grove Library District is asking voters to approve more money for operations. But, it says, the property tax rate, now 27.1 cents per $100 of equalized assessed valuation, would not go up. That's because, in 2024, the library will pay off a 2004 loan to construct a new building. When that happens, the property tax levied for debt (14.7 cents) will drop off property tax bills. The district is asking residents to tack that on to the operations tax rate, currently 12.4 cents, to raise the operations rate limit to 27.1 cents.”
