How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Kane County's 2025 tax code HA005 (Hampshire Township, Hampshire village, Community Unit School District 300, Elgin Community College, Ella Johnson Library, Hampshire Park and Fire districts; total 6.924376 per $100; equalized assessed value). Some other codes in the village add SSA charges.
The starting value is the Census/ACS median home value (owner-reported survey estimate, via Data USA, $329,800) times the 33.33% level of assessment; it is not a Kane County assessed value or sale price. The $8,000 general homestead exemption comes off it.
Water and sewer: $6.68 and $7.81 per 1,000 gallons from July 2026, plus $50 Capital Improvement Fee and $1.00 Billing Charge per two-month cycle (halved to $25.50 a month). Typical water use is the Village's 11,000 gallons every two months.
Trash is the Flood Brothers regular rate of $47.24 per two-month billing cycle on the Village utility bill (halved to $23.62 a month); it is not on the tax bill.
Electricity: ComEd delivery customer and metering charges, per-kWh delivery and IEDT, the October 2026 price to compare, plus state tax and Hampshire municipal tax additions. Gas: Nicor Rate 1 with the October 2026 supply cost plus the 5.15% Hampshire municipal tax. Usage is the EIA average.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
