Illinois Expands Property Tax Breaks for Veterans to Include World War II Vets

From the Cook County Treasurer’s Office:

Illinois lawmakers have enacted significant changes to property tax exemptions benefiting veterans, including a landmark provision for those who served during World War II. These amendments, effective for the 2024 tax year, underscore our commitment to supporting our veteran community.

The newly expanded legislation, Public Act 103-0596, amends the Illinois Property Tax Code to make veterans who served during World War II exempt from paying property taxes on their primary residences, regardless of their disability status. The new law also extends the benefit to unmarried, surviving spouses of World War II veterans, certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for compensation due to service-connected death.

Cook County Treasurer Maria Pappas Urges Seniors to Take Advantage of Property Tax Deferral Program

Amid growing concerns that increases in property tax bills are pushing senior citizens to leave their homes, Cook County Treasurer María Pappas reminded senior homeowners today of a state program that allows them to defer paying their property taxes.

The Senior Citizens Property Tax Deferral Program allows property owners aged 65 or older to “borrow” money from the state to cover their property taxes. This program operates as a
loan with a simple annual interest rate of 3%, providing financial relief to eligible seniors.

“Our senior homeowners are finding it increasingly difficult to pay their taxes,” said Pappas. “This program can make the difference among staying in their home, falling behind on their taxes or selling their home.”
