Summary
At a public hearing Nov. 20, village finance staff said revised levy calculations shift a previously projected $36 increase to an estimated $26 decrease per average household versus last year and reported a levy rate of roughly 0.007499%; the board closed the hearing without further public comment.
The Village of Glendale Heights held a public hearing Nov. 20 on the annual tax levy for fiscal year 2025–26. Finance staff presented revised calculations and told the board they were able to both reduce the levy rate and lower the estimated average household tax burden.
According to the finance presentation, earlier estimates had indicated an average-household increase of about $36 per year; after recalculation and incorporation of board and community feedback, staff said the revised estimate represents a $26 decrease from last year for the average household. Staff also gave the levy rate as approximately 0.007499% and said the village has reduced its levy rate by more than half over the past three years. The speaker noted the village took into consideration public feedback and reworked the numbers before presenting the revised figures.
After the presentation, Trustee Schneck moved to close the public hearing; Trustee Light seconded. The roll call vote was taken and the mayor declared the public hearing closed.
What’s next: This meeting recorded the public‑hearing presentation and closure; any ordinance to adopt the levy will require subsequent formal consideration as part of the village's ordinance-reading process.
