Truth in Taxation Public Hearing for the Proposed Tax Year 2022 Property  
Tax Levy  
Overview:  
Each year the Village Board adopts a tax levy to fund general Village  
operations, debt service payments, and mandatory employer contributions to  
the police and fire pension plans. Excluding the Oak Park Library’s levy, the  
Fiscal Year 2023 (tax year 2022 levy) will remain unchanged from the Fiscal  
Year 2022 levy. Including the Oak Park Public Library levy increase of 5.0%, the  
overall increase is expected to be 1.06%.  
According to state statue, a public hearing and additional posting is required  
when the increase is 5% or more. Although the anticipated increase is well  
below the 5.00%, holding a truth in taxation hearing provides the public  
additional transparency.
