How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Cook County's 2025 agency rates for tax code 31034 (Village of Hillside corporate plus library fund 5.402923, School District 93, Proviso Township High School 209, Triton College, MWRD; total 12.182568 per $100 of equalized assessed value). Elections, Forest Preserve, Proviso Township and mosquito abatement are grouped as other districts. Code 31034 is the code with the most single-family-type parcels in Hillside (589 of 2,194 by the Assessor's Parcel Universe); other codes differ by park district and school district.
The starting value is the median 2025-assessment-year Board of Review assessed value ($22,000) of the 2,194 single-family-type parcels (classes 202-210, 234, 278, 295) in Hillside's 18 tax codes, from Cook County Assessor open data (Assessed Values joined to Parcel Universe tax codes; township code 31 is Proviso), times the final 2025 equalization factor 3.0300; the $10,000 Homeowner Exemption comes off it.
Electricity and gas follow the Westchester method: ComEd delivery plus the October 2026 price to compare plus Hillside's 0.604 cents municipal tax addition and 0.330 cents state addition; Nicor Rate 1 plus October 2026 supply with Hillside's 5.15% charge.
Water is $14 per 1,000 gallons and sewer $0.45 per 1,000 gallons; the village lists no fixed monthly charge and a 1,000-gallon minimum bill. The village water-billing page carries no effective date, and no newer rate ordinance was found. The village publishes no typical use, so the default water use is an assumption of the page. Trash is shown as $0 because the village lists no separate residential trash charge.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
