Timeout with the Trustees

The Village of Bartlett operates under the Budget Officer Act, which requires the budget to be adopted by the beginning of the fiscal year - May 1. Two major planning processes, Strategic Planning and Capital Improvements Programming, impact budget development.

What impact does the Village tax levy have on property taxes?

Property tax revenue is the most stable of the Village revenue sources. However, the Village receives less than 9% of your total property tax bill. Other taxing districts that receive the remaining 91% of these tax dollars include the school district, park district, library district, fire protection district, township, county, and more.

The Village has traditionally endeavored to maintain a level or declining property tax rate. The Village Board decreased taxes by lowering the 2013 tax levy by 5.06 percent.

Where The Money Comes from

The Village's revenue stream is diverse, with no single dominant source. Below is an explanation of the Village’s revenue sources and a chart showing budgeted amounts in each category for fiscal year 2013/14, when revenues are expected to total $52.1 million, an increase of 10.58% from the prior year.

Property Taxes - revenue from annual tax levy. Other Taxes - largest revenues in this category are income and sales taxes, collected by the state and shared with municipalities. Also included are the real estate transfer and telecommunications taxes admin- istered by the Village and TIF taxes, which support public improvements in the TIF districts. Interest - Revenue earned from investing funds throughout the year. Miscellaneous - Revenues such as permit and license fees, franchise fees, fines, etc. Borrowings - Bonds and notes, the majority of which are used for Capital Projects.

Did You Know? ...that as of the end of November 2013, Public Works staff and contractors had removed 1,132 emerald ash borer infested trees from Village parkways. The PW Department estimates that it will take three years to completely remove and replant all the trees impacted by the EAB infestation. In the next two years, approximately 1,000 more trees will be removed and 1,000 trees will be planted each year. In the final year of the program, (2016 - 2017), 800 trees will be planted.
