Public Notice: Tax Levy Hearing 2025

Nov 14, 2025

The Illinois General Assembly recently amended the notice requirements within the Truth in Taxation Law, 35 ILCS 200/18-55 et seq. The Law requires taxing districts to estimate the amount of money needed from property taxes at least 20 days prior to the adoption of their final annual levy. If that amount is more than 105% of the prior tax year’s extensions, the taxing district must give public notice and hold a public hearing on the levy.

Effective August 9, 2024, Public Act 103-1018 modified this website posting requirement. In addition to the newspaper posting, the Law now requires that the website notice be posted for a period of not less than 30 consecutive days.

Therefore, notice is hereby given that the Board of Education of Litchfield Community Unit School District 12, Montgomery County, Illinois, will hold a public hearing on its proposed property tax levy for the year 2025. The hearing will be held on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 6:00 p.m. at the Kilton Fine Arts Center, 1100 N. Old Rt 66, Litchfield, IL 62056.

This notice is published in accordance with the Truth in Taxation Act (35 ILCS 200/18-70 et seq.).
