There are two components that make up a property tax bill:

1. The first component includes the various tax rates, which are set by taxing authorities, such as school districts, park districts, townships, villages and city councils.
2. The second component is the assessed value of one's property.

A third component may include special assessments submitted from municipalities, townships
and counties.
