DuPage County, IL Sr. Citizens Real EstateTax Deferral Announced for 2012

 
    
DuPage County, IL Sr. Citizens Real Estate
Tax Deferral Announced for 2012

Information/Applications Now Available
Through March 1, 2012



   Du Page County in IL, like many other counties, offers many helpful forms of assistance to the senior residents living within its borders.  One such program, is the Senior Citizens' Real Estate Tax Deferral Program.
    
     Each year from January 1st to March 1st, Du Page County opens application for participation in this beneficial program.  The program assists its senior residents by allowing them to defer the property tax payment on their principal residence.
     
     The deferment of a tax payment is similar to a loan against the senior's property market value .  Deferrals are borrowed from the State of Illinois, which in turn pays the current property tax when due.  The State of Illinois ensures repayment of the deferred amount through a 6% simple interest rate "loan".  A lien is also filed on the residential property. Special Assessments taxes levied by your village or their water and sewer district may also be deferred. 
     
    To qualify, Du Page County senior residents must fit the following qualifications:
 
  • The residential property must be their primary residence and used exclusively for residential purposes.
  • The senior resident(s) household combined income cannot exceed $50,000 annually.
  • Senior must be 65 years of age or older by June 1st, of the year for which the application is made.
  • Senior must have resided in deferred tax property for minimum of the last 3 years.
  • Senior must have NO delinquencies of payment on their property taxes.
  • Senior must have NO special assessments on said property.
  • Senior resident/said property must carry current and adequate Fire and Casualty Insurance.
  • Senior must Own the property, share joint ownership with a spouse, be the sole beneficiary of said property, or be the sole beneficiaries of a land trust for said property.
     
    Application forms (Form IL 1017 and IL 1018) for participation in this year's  Du Page County Senior Citizen Real Estate Tax Deferral Program  will automatically be mailed on January 9th to those senior residents that took part last year. 
     
    For new senior participants, the following information/documentation must be provided at the time the completed application is submitted:
 
  • Social Security Number
  • Proof of property ownership
  • Copy of current Homeowner's Insurance Declaration  page
  • Proof of age
  • Other qualifying information
     
     To receive or download an application, you can call the Du Page County Treasurer's office at: 630.407.5900 or visit its website at: http://www.dupageco.org/treasurer.  Additional information or questions may be addressed through either contact, as well.
    
    Completed application forms can be returned by mail, or dropped-off in person, at the Du Page County Treasurer's office located at: Du Page County Treasurer, 421 No. County Farm Road, Wheaton, Illinois, 60187.

New "We Care Card" Program Announced in DuPage Township (IL). Aims to Assist Township Residents Without Health Insurance.

 
 
 
New "We Care Card" Program Announced in
DuPage Township (IL)
 
Aims to Assist Township Residents
Without Health Insurance
 
    
     A new beneficial health insurance option for DuPage (IL) Townshipresidents was announced on July 26th, 2011, by DuPage Town Supervisor, Bill Mayer.
 
     The new program, called the "We Care Card" Program, focuses on bringing health-care services to DuPage Township residents that don't have ... or can't afford ... health insurance. 
    
     This "We Care Card" Program could touch as many as 16,000 residents living in the township, and will offer a FREE initial health screening done by nurses of the Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, located at 500 Remington Boulevard, Bolingbrook, IL.  The hospital is partnering-up with DuPage Township to deliver this much-needed new program.
    
     The "We Care Card" Program is hoping to educate DuPage residents about the benefits of good nutrition and fitness, plus the need for consistent management of their health issues.  Through this initiative, they hope to reduce the number of residents that must visit hospital emergency rooms for more basic medical care.
    
     The DuPage Township has spent $20,000 to initiate this new program.  The township is alerting the 10,000 families and 2,000 senior citizens served by the DuPage Township's food pantry about the existence of the new "We Care Card" Program, but any DuPage Township resident can apply. 
 
     Officials believe that the dollars spent upfront by the Townhip will end-up being "re-paid" as residents are educated about their health-care issues and make fewer visits to the hospital emergency rooms.
    
     Any DuPage Township resident interested in learning more regarding this new "We Care Card" Program ... or wanting to make application for a "We Care Card", should contact DuPage Township by phone at: 630.759.1317. 
 
     The DuPage Township offices are located at: 241 Canterbury Lane, Bolingbrook, IL.  Hours are:  Monday through Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 PM.  (Closed Weekends and Legal Holidays)  You can also visit the DuPage Township website at:  http://www.dupagetownship.com .
