FOIA Request to Will County Treasurer Regarding Property Tax Records 2024 - Present on May 12, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we have submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Will County Treasurer. Our request seeks access to property tax records for the years 2024 and anything available for 2025. Specifically, we are requesting details including Parcel ID, Year, Tax Value, and Assessed Value for properties within the county.
This request is made under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140, with a preference for receiving the information in electronic format. As members of the media, we play a crucial role in gathering and reporting news to the public. Access to these public records is essential for us to fulfill our professional responsibilities, which include holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency.
We are also affiliated with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization that assists media companies and advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. This affiliation underscores our dedication to pulling back the curtain on government actions and helping inform the American electorate.
We believe that as media professionals involved in disseminating information to the public, we are eligible for a fee waiver for this request. We await a response from the Will County Treasurer's office and are prepared to address any questions they may have regarding our request.
