ALTON, Ill. – To help ensure that Madison County residents are taking advantage of possible savings and property tax exemptions, stateRep. Monica Bristow, D-Alton, is partnering with the county assessor’s office to host a series of property tax seminars to provide information to homeowners.
“As I talk to homeowners across the district, property taxes remain a top issue that has to be addressed,” said Bristow. “As a member of the Property Tax Relief Task Force, I am working for ways to help provide homeowners with relief with overburdensome property taxes. Hosting local events like these with our county office help to make sure that residents are receiving any property tax exemptions they may qualify for and providing important information about other possible ways to lower property taxes.”
