Property taxes in Chicago’s south suburbs soar | Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons

The median increase in property bills was 20%, but in the majority Black southern suburbs, bills went up by 30% or more. This left some residents paying more than homeowners in northern suburbs whose homes are valued higher. Reset learns about the factors leading to the increase and what could be done to lower these bills.
