Sales Tax<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sales taxes in Illinois are combined rates that include a state tax of 6.25 percent on general merchandise and 1 percent on qualifying food, drugs, and medical appliances. Also, depending upon the sales location, the rates may include combinations of such taxes as mass transit, water, municipal home rule, county home rule, or county public safety. Consult your county and municipal offices for the exact rate in your community. For more information, contact:<\/p>\n

Property Tax<\/strong><\/p>\n

The largest single tax in Illinois is also the major source of tax revenue for local governments, creating more than 75 percent of the total tax revenue. The property tax is a local tax imposed by local governments and districts including school systems, cities, villages, and township. The state does not impose a property tax. Second year taxes are paid as a percentage of the property value from the previous year. For complete information on property taxes, contact:<\/p>\n
