Village of Montgomery officials are preparing to issue the first round of property tax rebate checks in the wake of the successful sales tax referendum last November. The additional 1% sales tax was assessed beginning on July 1, 2015 and the Village will begin receiving the funds around October 9th.
A property tax rebate in the amount of $45 will be mailed to the owner of each owner-occupied residential property who submits an application by December 15, 2015. The applicant must also provide a copy of the 2014 property tax bill that was paid in 2015 and a copy of a current Illinois driver’s license or state ID listing the homeowner’s Montgomery address. Additional information can be found on the property tax refund application.
Applications are available on the Village website and will also be included with the water bills to be mailed out October 1, 2015. Rebate checks will be processed during the winter and mailed out in March 2016.
