How these numbers are made

Property tax uses Kane County's 2025 tax code DU039 (West Dundee village, Dundee School District 300, Elgin Community College 509, Dundee Township park district and Fox River Valley library; total 7.818232 per $100 of equalized assessed value). Some codes add SSA 4 or SSA 9.
The starting value is the Data USA median property value ($360,800) times the 33.33% statutory level of assessment; the $8,000 general homestead exemption comes off it.
Water and sewer use the village's FY 2026/27 residential bimonthly schedule: Level 1 to 4 per-1,000-gallon rates are the same for water and for sewer, so they are added together in the water tiers and sewer is not charged again. Bimonthly breakpoints (4,000, 10,000, 20,000 gallons) are halved to monthly. Fixed = distribution fee $33.70 + capital improvements fee $15.45 + IEPA loan fee $8.74 per bill for use up to 10,000 gallons, halved. The 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch meter charge is $0.00.
Typical use is the village's 10,000 gallons bimonthly household assumption. Electricity and gas use the same ComEd and Nicor Gas 2026 rates as other northern Illinois villages, plus Nicor's 4.00 cents per therm West Dundee gas use tax and ComEd's West Dundee municipal tax addition (0.628 cents per kWh for the first 2,000 kWh) and the ComEd franchise cost percentage for West Dundee (June 2026 to May 2027).
Garbage is shown as paid through property taxes; the village's own cost comparison lists no refuse fee.
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
