If my property assessment is the same as last year, why is my tax bill so different from year to year?
Many factors impact the final property tax bill. First, other than Skokie, the levies of many agencies increase each year. This is particularly true for school districts. Second, the value of the homeowner's exemption has changed a number of times recently making comparison to prior years extremely difficult.

Finally, as a result of property assessment appeals, your property may change in proportion to the Village as a whole. While any single residential property is a very small portion of the Village, large properties that receive downward assessment spreads the tax burden across all other properties in Skokie.
