Tax Rate


The property tax rate for the Village of Dundee consists of three parts:

1.      General operating – these monies fund the day to day operation of village government and pay for such things as police service, street maintenance, etc.

2.      Municipal Highway – road maintenance.

3.      Wastewater Debt – used to pay off the bonds issued for construction of the wastewater treatment plant. 
 
With the exception of 1999, the Village Council has consistently voted to lower the tax rate in recent years, as the following chart illustrates:

 Year  Rate
 1991  18.80
 1992  18.59
 1993  19.98
 1994  19.98
 1995  19.40
 1996  16.15
 1997  16.15
 1998  15.60
 1999  16.15
 2000  16.05
 2001  15.55
 2002  15.45
 2003  14.95
 2004  12.95
 2005  10.95
 2006  10.45
 2007   10.05
 2008  10.00
 2009   9.91
                    

The current tax rate of 10.00 mills equates to $10.00 per $1,000 of taxable value. To calculate the taxes you pay to the Village, multiply $10.00 by each $1,000 of the taxable value of your property.

For example, a home worth $100,000 on the open market might have a taxable value of $40,000. The Village tax bill would then be $400.00 (40 times $10.00) 

Assessments

All village property lies within the boundaries of Dundee Township and is assessed by the Township Assessor. The Village Council has no control over assessments.


The Assessed Value of a property is an estimate of its worth on the open market.

           
The State Equalized Value is generally half the Assessed Value.

           
The Taxable Value is the amount that is actually taxed. It is generally equal to the State Equalized Value in the first year and then, due to a complicated formula, declines in comparison.

           
The following chart, comparing the total State Equalized Value (SEV) of all the property in the Village to the Taxable Value (TV), shows how TV generally declines over the years as a percentage of SEV.

 Year  SEV  TV
 1995  $45,870,596  $45,482,420
 1996  $50,055,498  $48,427,731
 1997  $54,177,338  $50,852,587
 1998  $66,287,393  $60,511,189
 1999  $73,472,128  $63,563,025
 2000  $92,197,103  $77,454,757
 2001   $114,934,343  $91,236,160
 2002 $131,068,111 $101,859,131
 2003 $137,783,881 $106,498,750
 2004 $180,000,000  $125,000,000 
 2005   $188,156,916 $142,558,302
 2006 $211,836,008 $165,752,723
 2007 $234,541,971 $183,265,326
 2008 $239,611,118 $196,144,078
 2009 $212,246,802 $183,174,499
