DuPage County, IL Sr. Citizens Real Estate Tax Deferral Announced for 2012
Information/Applications Now Available
Through March 1, 2012
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.
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

Local,
State, and U.S. members of Congress announced Wednesday, August 24th,
that an agreement regarding the conversion of the Silver Cross Hospital
in Joliet into a veterans' medical facility had been secured.
This
new agreement means that the present Emergency Room at Silver Cross
Hospital's Joliet Campus, located at 1200 Maple Road in Joliet, will
become a 60,000 square-foot Outpatient Clinic for local American
veterans in the not-too-distant future.
Although not a full-service VA hospital, the new Outpatient Clinic will
offer expanded medical services to area veterans, plus save them the
time and inconvenience of driving to a clinic much further away.
Negotiations
for this new veterans' Outpatient Clinic have been in the works since
2008 when Will County and Joliet area veterans' and community groups
approached U.S. Rep. Judy Biggert with the suggestion to consider the
soon-to-be-vacated hospital for veterans' purposes. The
newly-arrived-at agreement is actually between Silver Cross Hospital
itself and the Veterans Administration.
The Veterans Administration will start construction on the
newly-announced Outpatient Clinic soon after that vacancy date. Some of
the expanded medical services slated to be offered in the new veterans'
Outpatient Clinic will include:
- Physical Therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Retinal Imaging
- Women's Health
- Geriatrics
- Home-Based Primary Care
- Lab
- Mental Health/Social Work
- Nutrition
- More
The entire population of the surrounding area will be greatly
served by the addition of both the new Silver Cross facility and campus
in New Lenox ... and the expanded medical services becoming available to
our American veterans at the new Outpatient Clinic located in Joliet.
