Monee Township Board Meeting | Oct. 2025

Article Summary: Supervisor Donna Dettbarn announced a tentative tax levy increase for the upcoming fiscal year, citing the release of funds from a local Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district. The Board has scheduled a “Truth in Taxation” hearing for November to formally present the proposal to the public.

Monee Township Tax Levy Key Points:

Proposed Increase: The township is proposing a tentative levy increase of 7.75%.
TIF Impact: Supervisor Dettbarn attributed the increase to the “release of funds from TIF 3 in Monee.”
Public Hearing: A Truth in Taxation Hearing is scheduled for Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.

The Monee Township Board on Thursday, October 16, 2025, initiated the annual property tax levy process by announcing a tentative increase of nearly 8 percent, prompted by changes in a local development district.

During the New Business portion of the meeting, Supervisor Donna Dettbarn announced a tentative tax levy increase of 7.75% for the 2025 levy year (collectibles in the 2026-2027 budget year). Dettbarn stated that the increase is “due to release of funds from TIF 3 in Monee.”

Because the proposed increase exceeds the statutory 5% threshold that triggers public notification requirements, the township must hold a public hearing. The Board scheduled the “Truth in Taxation” hearing for Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m., immediately preceding the regular monthly meeting.
