How are property taxes used and what portion of my tax bill do I pay to the Park District?

From your property taxes, Elmhurst Park District receives a nickel of every dollar. The Park District has one of the lowest rates compared to other DuPage County park districts (in the bottom third), including communities like Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, Carol Stream and Lombard. 

Despite managing and maintaining 30 parks, 21 facilities and 475 acres of parks, Elmhurst Park District’s tax levy is approximately the same as the Elmhurst Public Library.
