Treasurer previews new BillTrax portal; outlines 2025 tax-roll processing
Summary
Kane County treasurer reported on the 2025 tax roll and rollout of BillTrax, a new portal that stores three years of tax notices, enables partial payments and supports bank bill-pay; staff noted a processing fee (approximately 2.5% for card payments) that is retained by the payment processor.
The Kane County treasurer reported to commissioners on 2025 collections and a new taxpayer portal called BillTrax designed to improve access to tax notices and payments.
Treasurer staff said the office processed the 2025 tax roll (about $28 million in total billings) that covered nearly 17,000 parcels. The county share of property taxes was described as roughly $6.5 million; staff said November distributions totaled about $17 million and the office had processed over 14,000 payments since notices were issued.
The treasurer introduced BillTrax, a new platform that will hold three years of tax and disclosure notices, allow taxpayers to make payments and support bank bill-pay links and QR-code access from the physical tax notice. Staff confirmed taxpayers may make partial payments and explained that card-payment processing fees (about 2.5% for plastic payments and $0.75 for checks) are charged by the payment processor, not the county.
Commissioners asked for materials to share in the county newsletter and on social media; staff agreed to provide a packet with instructions and a QR code for the public.
