The Village relies on a combination of user fees and taxes to fund its varied programs and services. To assist in paying for this variety of services, the Village receives funds from the State in the form of sales, income, and motor fuel taxes. This helps minimize the impact on property taxes for municipal purposes. In fact, only about five cents of every property tax dollar you pay goes to the municipality. Only 11% of this year’s budget is paid for with property taxes (excluding revenues for separate Police Pension Fund).
