Dupage Policy Journal

Eighteen of suburban Chicago’s 200 highest tax-paying commercial properties are in DuPage County, according to a Local Government Information Services (LGIS) analysis of property tax data from the Cook County treasurer. Collectively, these 18 properties contributed $27.88 million to DuPage County’s public funds, which go toward municipal salaries and local school districts. 

LGIS ranked the commercial properties in suburban Chicago that were billed the most in the 2015 tax year. The 200 highest-paying properties paid $441 million; DuPage County made up 6.3 percent of this total. 

DuPage County – along with every other Illinois county except Cook County – assesses both commercial and residential properties at 33 percent of market value. Cook County is unique in that its commercial properties are capped at a 25 percent market value, while residential assessments are capped at 10 percent. 

That means Cook County commercial property taxpayers can pay more than double the taxes of residential properties with identical market values.

Navistar’s owners paid the most in DuPage County last year at $3.25 million for the Lisle headquarters, or 11 percent of the total. Fox Valley Mall in Aurora was billed at $2.84 million, followed by Yorktown Center in Lombard at $1.92 million, AMLI at 7 Bridges in Woodridge at $1.68 million, and City View at the Highlands in Lombard at $1.56 million.
