How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Cook County's 2025 rates (percent per $100 of equalized assessed value) for the district combination of Elk Grove Township, Village of Elk Grove Village and its library, Elk Grove Elementary District 59, Arlington Heights Township High School 214, Harper College and Elk Grove Park District. Parts of the village lie in other school or park districts (District 54, High School 211, Mt Prospect and Schaumburg park districts) and a Mt Prospect EMS special service area applies to some properties; those pay different rates.
The starting value is the Assessor's $403,000 median estimate x 10% x the 3.0300 state factor = $122,109, minus the $10,000 homeowner exemption.
Water and sewer is the village's single combined charge of $12.00 per 1,000 gallons; the village page is dated January 1, 2015 and is its current rate page. Stormwater is $5.00 a month for a 3/4-inch meter. Unincorporated addresses pay $18.01 per 1,000 gallons, Branigar Estates pays a flat monthly rate, and properties on Bensenville sewer differ. Stormwater is higher for 1-inch and larger meters ($10 to $40 a month).
Electricity is ComEd's 2026 delivery rates plus the non-summer supply price to compare (10.103 cents); summer supply is higher. Gas is Nicor Rate 1: $21.30 plus 24.44 cents distribution and the October 2026 supply cost of 33 cents per therm; riders are not included.
Garbage is the $17.06 monthly curbside collection rate (as of March 2026) listed for Elk Grove Village in a Glenview village board document of April 21, 2026, escalating 3.75% every 2 years; it is a third-party municipal document, not a village page. Groot bills residents directly each quarter.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
