On April 8, 2015, the Township Board voted to approve the 2015-2016 budget, which includes abating the 2014 Township tax levy of $1,945,400 by $450,000. The tax levy will be extended in fiscal year 2015-2016, which began April 1.
“This abatement of the 2014 Township tax levy will enable us to maintain 6 to 9 months of reserves in our fund balances throughout the tax cycle, and reduce extended taxes to provide relief to our property taxpayers,” noted Township Supervisor Rachel Ossyra. “The elected officials and staff at Naperville Township are committed to providing the most cost effective and high quality public service that is responsive to our residents’ needs. In this time of fiscal difficulty, we want to lead by example. You can count on us to prudently conserve your hard earned tax dollars.”
Township Assessor Warren Dixon, III added, “The efficient management of the Township’s budget by all the divisions has allowed us to continue to provide the high level of services residents are accustomed to while finding was to save the taxpayers money.”
Approved for release by Rachel Ossyra, April 13, 2015
