One of the carrying costs associated with homeownership in West Elgin is your property tax. This tax helps fund many local services, such as snow removal, fire protection, and much more. Each year, your municipality will determine its property tax rate, which typically lands between 0.5 and 2.5%. Some West Elgin residents assume they'll pay more in taxes, depending on the size of their home. However, that's not necessarily true as the city's tax rate is multiplied by the property's current market value - and that can change each year based on the sale of nearby homes. For instance, if your home's market value is $800,000 and the municipality's property tax rate is 0.5%, you'd pay $4,000 that year.
