Orland Square in Orland Park, IL, paid more than $9 million in property taxes last year, second-highest in the suburban Chicago region.
Orland Square in Orland Park, IL, paid more than $9 million in property taxes last year, second-highest in the suburban Chicago region.
Twenty-nine of suburban Chicago’s 200 highest tax-paying commercial properties are in southern Cook County, according to a Local Government Information Services (LGIS) analysis of property tax data from the Cook County Treasurer. Collectively, these 29 properties contributed $58.93 million to Cook County’s public funds, which go towards municipal salaries and local school districts.
LGIS ranked the commercial properties in suburban Chicago that were billed the most in the 2015 tax year. The 200 highest-paying properties paid $441 million; southern Cook County made up 13.3 percent of this total.
Cook County is unique in Illinois in that it assesses property taxes for commercial properties differently than for residential properties. While Cook County residential property tax assessments are capped at 10 percent of market value, commercial and industrial properties are capped at 25 percent.
That means Cook County commercial property taxpayers can pay more than double the taxes of residential properties with identical market values.
Orland Square’s owners paid the most in southern Cook County last year at $9.06 million for the Orland Park shopping mall, or 15.3 percent of the total. Chicago Ridge Mall in Chicago Ridge was billed at $5.97 million, followed by River Oaks Center in Calumet City at $4.55 million and Manheim Chicago in Matteson at $2.22 million.
