Chicagoland NW Suburban IL Real Estate & Community News: County Sales Tax Being Reduced – Great News For Chicago Suburbs!

Exciting news for all of us – particularly those shoppers, here in Cook County!

Ok, I know that the talk of taxes and tax rates can either make people fall asleep or stand bolt upright to attention, but this change in taxes is a great thing for Cook County and the NW Chicagoland suburbs as a whole.

Sales taxes are dropping half a percentage point.

There is a rollback in the county portion of the sales tax, which was originally increased back in 2008. This drop will mean that here in Schaumburg, Hoffman Estates etc rates will be 9.5% from 10%. Withing the City Limits of Chicago it will drop to 9.75% from 10.25%.

These may sound like small savings but over a year or so they can really add up. Small business owners in the area are delighted at the move as it can help drive more local foot traffic.

Don’t forget that Schaumburg has international shopping destinations like the the Streets of Woodfield shopping center and more!

NW Chicagoland’s suburbs make a great place to live, work, shop and play!
