House Bill 0612 - Property Tax Exemptions for Veterans 

Has Been Revised

The original law in Illinois applied primarily to those with Disabilities of 70% and above. This revision (now Public Act 103-0596) accomplished 2 major revisions:

1. All World War II Veterans will be exempt from paying property taxes.
2. There is a $250,000 EAV (Equalized Assessed Valuation) ceiling for property tax exemptions for veterans with disabilities of 70% or above. The revision clarifies the rules when a veteran's EAV exceeds that ceiling. Now, any veteran living in their primary residence with an EAV above $250,000 EAV can obtain the exemption and pay tax only on the balance of the EAV that is above $250,000 rather not being able to take advantage of the benefit. 

The Lake Zurich DMV located at 1015 S. Rand Rd. will be temporarily closed from Monday, September 16^th to Tuesday, October 1^st to undergo remodeling and transformation into a DMV+. The Lake Zurich DMV will reopen on Wednesday, October 2^nd.  When the facility reopens, it will offer new index, business, and personnel services in addition to their regular services.

During this time, there will be a temporary DMV located at the Kemper Lakes Business Center located at 3 Corporate Dr., Ste. 160 in Lake Zurich. Please see the flyer for the hours of operation.”
