How these numbers are made

Property tax uses DuPage County 2025 final rates for tax code 9082, the code the county booklet names Willowbrook (Downers Grove Township, Tri-State Fire District, Grade School District 62, High School District 86; total 4.5950 per $100 of equalized assessed value). Other codes exist.
The starting value is one third of the Census median market value ($358,600 / 3) because Illinois taxes equalized assessed value, about one third of market value. The $8,000 general homestead exemption comes off that value.
Water: the village's January 2023 single-family rates (the latest it publishes); the model uses the $5.00 fixed fee and $10.00 per 1,000 gallons for the first 12,000 gallons a month and approximates the higher bands as extra rates above that. Sewer: Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District metered residential fees ($0.98 + $2.50 per 1,000 gallons and $33.66 per bi-monthly bill, halved to a month); homes in the DuPage County Sanitary District area pay that district's rates instead.
Trash: Groot quarterly rates in the village's 2026 brochure divided by 3 (rates marked through 7/31/26); yard waste is extra.
Electricity: ComEd single-family without electric space heat (delivery from the January 2026 sheet, supply and transmission at the October 2026 Price to Compare). Gas: Nicor Rate 1 customer charge and distribution plus the October 2026 gas cost. The village's 5% utility tax is applied to electric and gas bills by the page.
