State Rep. Amy Grant addresses DuPage County property tax concerns on May 5

State Representative Amy Grant said on May 5 that DuPage County residents are facing record-high property tax bills, stating that Illinois families pay the highest property tax rates in the nation.

Grant said these rising taxes are a burden for local families and highlighted new legislation aimed at providing real tax relief. She said the goal is to make Illinois a more affordable place to live, work, learn, and grow.

"DuPage County residents are taxed out because Illinois families pay the highest property tax rates in the nation," Grant said.

Grant was elected as a Republican to the Illinois State House in 2023 to represent the state's 47th House District, replacing previous state representative Deanne Mazzochi, according to the Illinois General Assembly.

The proposed legislative package seeks to address affordability for working families across DuPage County and beyond. Further details about specific measures or next steps were not provided in this announcement.
