DID YOU KNOW THE PARK DISTRICT IS TAX-CAPPED ?
The Glenview Park District is a non-home rule district and is , therefore , subject to the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law ( PTELL ). This means that the tax-capped funds in the tax levy cannot be increased by more than the increase to the consumer price index in the prior year or 5 %, whichever is lower . The District can , however , levy for new growth on the tax rolls . Capturing all new construction ensures that an increase in taxes will be spread across existing properties , including new properties .
From 2010 to 2023 , the District has levied less than the tax-capped increase 8 times , reducing the tax levy by $ 4.1M .
