Here’s a gentle reminder to pay the first installment of your Kane County property tax bill by Monday, June 3.

Now, here’s a not-so-gentle reminder:

If you don’t pay your property tax bill by Monday, June 3, you could get hit with a penalty of 1.5 percent. And if you’re bill is anywhere as large as our family’s, that’s a payment you’d rather not have to make.

As you can see by the chart above, the penalty is 1.5 percent for the period from June 4 to July 3. It goes up to 3 percent if you pay that first installment between July 4 and Aug. 3.

It’s 4.5 percent if paid between Aug. 4 and Sept. 3. It goes up to 6 percent if paid between Sept. 4 and Oct. 3 and to 7.5 percent if paid Oct. 4 through Oct. 18.
