NEW LENOX, IL — Property tax rebate applications for those eligible will soon be appearing in New Lenox residents' mailboxes, if they haven't already.

The Village this year will refund 50 percent of the Village of New Lenox’s portion of the 2023 property taxes that were paid in 2024 on owner-occupied homes in which they currently reside. This amount may be adjusted if the State of Illinois reduces the share of funding to the Village of New Lenox, the Village said.

The deadline to apply is Dec. 16. Checks are expected to be mailed on or around March 3, 2025.

To be eligible for the refund, a resident must be the owner of a single-family home, a townhome, a residential condominium or an apartment unit within a building that he or she owns, according to the Village. Residents must currently reside in the property that they are applying for the refund, according to the Village.

Applicants will have to prove residency by providing a copy of his or her County of Will 2022 Levy Property Tax Bill, and a copy of his or her driver's license or state identification, according to the Village. Many residents declared eligible will receive their applications via mail.

Residents should note that only copies of these documents will be accepted; The Village will not accept original documents.

Completed applications with the required documents should be delivered to The Village of New Lenox, 1 Veterans Parkway.
