Kane County Clerk certifies the 2022 tax extension

Kane County Clerk John A. Cunningham announced that his office has certified the 2022 payable 2023 Tax Extension to the Kane County Treasurer's Office.

As a result, tax bills to Kane County property owners will once again be mailed to taxpayers on time by May 1.

Cunningham said, "The County Clerk's Office extends taxes for nearly 200 taxing bodies in Kane County. Tax extension is one part of the process that helps fund schools, build roads, and provide for things like police and fire protection, our judicial system, and parks. By completing this complicated but critically important job on time, we help to get this money to local governments on time."

For the 2022 tax year, Kane County has a total of 197,926 parcels, up from 189,599 last year.

The total assessed value for all property in Kane County was $19,082,808,394, which is an increase of approximately 7% over the $17,834,509,221 total value of property in the county last year.

The county's total tax extended this year was $1,510,793,643.40, which is a 4.7% increase from the total of $1,442,990,497.24, in 2022.

Additional information and reports about the 2022 payable 2023 Tax Extension are available at kanecountyclerk.org/Tax/TaxExtension.aspx.

Cunningham added, "I want to thank the Treasurer, Township Assessors, Supervisor of Assessments, the local governments, and all staff for their hard work and cooperation throughout the year to assist in the tax extension completed by the Clerk's Office. The amount of time needed to prepare for tax extension continues to decrease, which allows Kane County's local governments to provide services to residents without delay."

Property owners will be able to view tax bills online at kaneil.devnetwedge.com later this month.

The Kane County Clerk's Office handles several different aspects regarding property taxes, including property tax extension for local governments; past tax searches; delinquent tax redemption; and annexations, disconnections, dissolutions and organization of taxing districts. The system implemented by the clerk's office to calculate tax extensions has saved taxpayer dollars by reducing the time to process these functions and increase efficiency.
