Kane County Treasurer Announces 2024 Property Tax Bill Schedule

Kane County Treasurer Chris Lauzen has announced that 2024 real estate tax bills for county residents will be mailed by May 1, 2025. According to the official press release, property owners will need to make their first installment payment by June 2, with the second installment due on September 2. The announcement comes as part of the regular tax collection process overseen by the County Treasurer's office, which manages property tax collection for the jurisdiction.

Residents have multiple payment options available to them for submitting their property tax payments. The county is promoting online payments through the official Treasurer.KaneCountyIL.gov website, where e-checks can be processed without additional fees. Traditional payment methods remain available, including mailing checks using the provided payment coupons and envelopes that will accompany the tax bills. The county has maintained these various payment channels to accommodate different taxpayer preferences.

For those who prefer in-person transactions, Kane County has established several physical locations where payments can be submitted. The county government has set up a drive-up payment drop box behind Building A at the Kane County Government Center in Geneva. Additionally, many local banks throughout Kane County will accept on-time payments at their drive-up facilities when accompanied by the appropriate payment coupon. These options provide flexibility for residents who may not be comfortable with digital payment methods.

The Kane County Clerk's branch office in Aurora and the Treasurer's Office in Geneva will also accept in-person payments during regular business hours. The Aurora location will only accept personal checks or money orders for tax payments. Property taxes fund essential local government services including schools, public safety, infrastructure maintenance, and other community programs throughout Kane County. The collection process represents a significant administrative function for local government officials.

As an elected county official, Treasurer Lauzen oversees the collection and distribution of property tax revenue that supports local government operations. The timely announcement of tax bills allows property owners to prepare financially for these upcoming obligations. The county's multiple payment options reflect an effort to streamline the collection process while accommodating various taxpayer needs and preferences. Property owners with questions are directed to contact the Treasurer's Office for additional information.
