Quick answers
Questions people ask
Which Illinois town has the lowest property taxes?
Park City (Lake County): homeowners’ median bill is $199 a year. Christopher ($929) and Six Mile Township ($939) follow.
How are these towns ranked?
By the median yearly property-tax bill homeowners report to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020–2024), lowest first. Towns with the same bill share a rank (T). The share of home value is the bill divided by the median home value, both from the survey. How grades work.
Why isn’t my town on this list?
The list covers the towns of 2,500+ that TownRatings grades with a reported bill under $10,000 (708 in Illinois); bills of $10,000+ can’t be told apart, so those towns are listed separately. Smaller towns show their bill on their Cost of living page. 58 Illinois towns are listed above at $10,000+. Every town is on the Illinois page.
