VILLAGE
TAX BILLS |
The 2009 Village Tax
Bills were mailed June 30th. Residential properties will notice a "Rubbish
Fee" of $50 in the Special Assessment Box on their tax bill. This fee is
not a special assessment, but rather a fee that was adopted by the Village Council
at their May 19, 2009 meeting. Since there was no other place on the tax bill
to list this new fee, it appears in the special assessment box. Again it is not
a special assessment and cannot be deducted on your taxes. If you have any questions,
please call the Village Office. |

for swimming and other recreational activities? Did you also know that there are
over 53 million dogs in the U.S. that produce 6.3 billion pounds of waste and
bacteria per year? What
