this particular car donated it's heart to a 2002.

At least the newspaper claims it... YEAH! US!

Congratulations, Will County residents, you pay some of the country's highest property taxes.

If the annual bill from the treasurer isn't painful enough, a Washington, D.C., think tank issued a report Monday that showed county homeowners pay a median of $4,488 in property taxes each year. That ranked 32nd out of 1,800 counties surveyed.

Using recent U.S. Census data, the nonpartisan Tax Foundation determined that property taxes represent 5.6 percent of Will County's median income of $80,157. Only 38 counties nationwide see a higher percentage.

But other Chicago-area counties have it worse.

Lake County homeowners pay $5,790 in taxes on their property, good enough for 15th overall. Residents in DuPage and McHenry counties pay $4,800 and $4,822, respectively.

Gerald Pranty, the Tax Foundation's senior economist, said high property taxes are typical in areas with suburban sprawl, where fewer businesses and industry are around to share the tax burden.

"When you have all owner-occupied housing, each living on an acre, you have fewer people to pay property taxes," Pranty said. "And property tax is the primary local source of revenue."

The median property tax in Cook County, by comparison, is $3,349, checking in at 96th in the country.

At $7,908 annually, the king of high property taxes is Westchester County in New York.

i guess your high property tax offsets our 10%+ sales tax.

Except I am on the edge of Cook County near Lemont and I get nailed when I head over to target and buy the standard stuff we need. 9% sales tax since it is Cook County.
