State Senator Dale Fowler | Illinois State Senator
During Governor JB Pritzker's recent budget address, the largest budget in the state's history was proposed, yet property tax relief was not addressed despite it being a significant concern for Illinois residents. Senate Republicans continue to advocate for immediate property tax relief for Illinois homeowners, with a focus on seniors and low-income families who are burdened by rising taxes.
Members of the Senate Republican Caucus held a press conference on February 27, outlining several legislative proposals. These efforts are intended to protect vulnerable homeowners and assist families in maintaining their homes. Senator Fowler and his colleagues are dedicated to delivering substantial relief to the residents of Illinois.
Among the proposals is Senate Bill 2086, which would raise the income eligibility for the Senior Citizens Assessment Freeze Homestead Exemption to $75,000 and link future increases to inflation. Senate Bill 2093 suggests making the Illinois Property Tax Credit refundable, thus offering greater aid to lower-income homeowners. Senate Bill 2246 proposes capping how much a home's assessed value can increase during reassessment years to the rate of inflation.
