House Passes Administration’s Permanent Property Tax Freeze Proposal

Governor Rauner issued the following statement today after the House of Representatives passed the Administration’s proposal, HB 6630 sponsored by Rep. Mark Batinick, to permanently freeze property taxes in Illinois:

“This morning the Illinois House of Representatives took a step in the right direction and passed our permanent property tax freeze. We have the highest property taxes in America, and a property tax freeze where you control whether your property taxes go up or not, will help change the system in Illinois, create jobs and keep families from fleeing the state.”
