The levy imposed on real estate within Naperville’s municipal boundaries funds essential city services, including public safety (police and fire departments), infrastructure maintenance (roads and bridges), parks and recreation, and public education. For example, a portion of the revenue collected might fund the acquisition of new fire engines or contribute to teacher salaries within the local school districts.
These levies are crucial for maintaining the city’s high quality of life and strong property values. Historically, stable and predictable rates have contributed to Naperville’s reputation as a desirable place to live and work. The revenue generated ensures the continued provision of vital public services and contributes to the overall economic health of the community.
