How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Cook County's 2025 agency rates for tax code 39018 (Village of Evergreen Park, School District 124, Community High School District 231; total 11.804679 per $100 of equalized assessed value), one of five codes with that total. Worth Township, road and bridge, elections, Forest Preserve and mosquito abatement are grouped as other districts.
The starting value is the Assessor's 2023 median market value for Worth Township single-family homes ($233K) times 10% times the 2025 Cook County equalization factor 3.0300; the $10,000 Homeowner Exemption comes off it.
Water, sewer and refuse are billed quarterly and shown per month (divided by 3). Water is $55.90 a quarter minimum (first 5,000 gallons) then $11.18 per 1,000 gallons; sewer is $43.50 a quarter for the first 15,000 gallons then $2.90 per 1,000 gallons. Refuse is $81.27 a quarter.
Electricity: ComEd delivery charges plus the October 2026 price to compare. Natural gas: Nicor Gas Rate 1 (monthly charge, distribution charge and the October 2026 gas supply cost) at a typical Illinois household's use; Nicor's tariff lists Evergreen Park among the municipalities it serves. The village's municipal code lists no electric or gas utility tax, so none is added.
Not included: homeowners insurance and the Special Service Area #2 tax in two of the seven tax codes (39193, 39219).
Gas: Rate 1 $21.30/mo + 24.44¢/therm distribution + 33¢/therm Oct 2026 supply.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
