How these numbers are made

Property tax uses DuPage County 2025 final rates for tax code 8048 (Woodridge in Lisle Township with Grade School District 68 and High School District 99; total 7.7874 per $100 of equalized assessed value). Other codes exist.
The starting value is one third of the Census median market value ($363,700 / 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 Water Fee $9.43 (from May 1, 2026) plus Capital Improvement Fee $2.40 per 1,000 gallons; the Village bills no base charge that we found. Sewer: Village sewer maintenance $0.90 plus DuPage County sewer charge $4.33 per 1,000 gallons, and the county base charge $8.13 per bi-monthly bill halved.
Trash: Groot flat rates effective September 1, 2026. Electricity: ComEd single-family without electric space heat (delivery lines from the January 2026 sheet; supply 8.413 and transmission 1.69 cents per kWh from the Oct 2026-May 2027 Price to Compare, applied year-round although summer supply is higher) with the Village's electric utility tax of $0.0033 per kWh (first 2,000 kWh) folded into the per-kWh rate. Gas: Nicor Rate 1 with the October 2026 gas cost, plus the Village's 5% municipal gas utility tax.
Homeowners insurance and Special Service Areas are not included; no official premium survey for Woodridge was found.
Tax base: rates are applied to assessed value after the homestead deduction (modelling).
Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
