How these numbers are made

Property tax uses DuPage County 2025 final rates for tax code 2018 (Bloomingdale Township, Village, Library, Park and Fire Protection Districts, Grade School District 13, High School District 108; total 7.1931 per $100 of equalized assessed value). Code 2018 is the one the county booklet labels BLOOMINGDALE; the Village spans several other tax codes, and the code with the most homes is not published.
The starting value is one third of the Data USA median property value ($376,500 / 3), because Illinois taxes equalized assessed value (about one third of market value). The $8,000 general homestead exemption comes off that value.
Water and sewer rates are the 6/1/26 rates, billed bimonthly and halved to monthly: the $45.56 water and $22.66 sewer minimum bills cover the first 5,000 gallons bimonthly (2,500 a month). Sewer per-1,000-gallon charges stop above 24,000 gallons bimonthly (12,000 a month).
Trash is the SBC Waste Solutions single-family refuse and recycling rate of $21.00 a month effective 03/01/2026, billed quarterly; the 2027 rate is $21.53.
Electricity and gas follow the same ComEd and Nicor method as nearby DuPage/Cook towns: ComEd single family without electric space heat (delivery charges, the October 2026 price to compare, and the state distribution tax) plus the ComEd franchise cost surcharge for Bloomingdale (1.831%, June 2026 to May 2027); Nicor Rate 1 plus the October 2026 gas cost. Typical use is the EIA residential average. Homeowners insurance is not included (no official premium survey found).
