The White Oak Library District will also have a proposition for voters in its boundaries. The question concerns increasing the limiting rate for the library.
"Shall the limiting rate under the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law for the White Oak Library District, Will County, Illinois, be increased by an additional amount equal to 0.0286% above the limiting rate for levy year 2023 and be equal to 0.208% of the equalized assessed value of the taxable property therein for levy year 2025?
(1) The approximate amount of taxes extendable at the most recently extended limiting rate is $4,689,455, and the approximate amount of taxes extendable if the proposition is approved is $5,437,050.(2) For the 2025 levy year, the approximate amount of the additional taxextendable against property containing a single family residence and having a fair market value at the time of the referendum of $100,000 is estimated to be $9.53.(3) If the proposition is approved, the aggregate extension for the 2025 levy year will be determined by the limiting rate set forth in the proposition, rather than the otherwise applicable limiting rate calculated under the provisions of the Property Tax Extension Limitation Law (commonly known as the Property Tax Cap Law)."
