NOTES FROM THE ASSESSOROne of the most frequently asked questions in our offi ce is “How can you increase my assessment every year?” Simply, as long as the values in your subdivision continue to change, so must the assessments. For the last several years we have reduced or maintained the assessments in most subdivisions. We are now starting to increase assessments again. There are over 200 subdivisions in DuPage Township and we review the sales in each subdivision annually. It is our job to identify which subdivisions show increased values, stable values or declining values. If the local assessor does not change the values, the County will. And if the County fails to do it, the State of Illinois will. Both Will County and the State monitor the sales prices of ALL sales in the state and compare the assessment levels to the sales prices. So there are two levels of audit above the township level; this assures accuracy and fairness.

REMINDER: It’s getting toward the end of the year. If you have any exemptions that you qualify for and need to submit the paperwork you can still do that. Anyone turning 65 this year can come in anytime to fi ll out the senior exemption form! You don’t need to wait until after your birthday.

I’M STARTING SOMETHING NEW FOR THE SENIORS:I will have a trivia question in every newsletter! You can stop in the Assessor’s offi ce to submit your answers. There will be a random drawing at the end of every month from the entries we receive for a winner! Good Luck!TRIVIA QUESTION: What was the name of Bolingbrook’s fi rst supermarket?Stop in the Assessor’s offi ce with your answers!! There will be a winner pulled in October & November, so you’ll have 2 chances to win if you get it in early.

Enjoy the changing season,Jean Kelly

Scratch-made recipes, handcrafted with care and time. This is how our food gets its start. It’s also how they got theirs back in 1979.The founders, Aubrey Good and Doug Rogers, believed that when a meal is prepared and cooked fresh just for you, it not only tastes better, it makes you feel good. Of course, this takes time. That’s why they start their slow-cooked meats early in the morning. And they’re constantly chopping, whisking, sautéing and stirring, so they’re ready whenever you’re ready to eat. {This explains why they have twice as many cooks as other restaurants.}They realize not everyone makes the effort to do things their way. But when you gather at the table with family and friends at Cheddar’s, they want you to feel looked after and appreciated in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. And they hope you savor every moment and every bite. It’s what inspires them to start from scratch every day. Soups, salads, sides, appetizers, burgers, pastas, steaks and fi sh….PLENTY for you to choose from.SIGN UP QUICKLY!! THIS WILL FILL UP FAST!!
