Illinois Education Auocialion SHOP IN McHENRY LEGAL J&PSCTS OF ASSESSMENTS . ^ iLUNpis;r - : Where Taxes Are Created Local government services are divided as to function, with each embracing a fixed geographical area. This combination of function and area is known a^ a "tax district." There are 3 separate "tax districts" in McHenry County divided by functions as follows: 4 county - 17 townships - 5 cfties - 14 villages - 41 school districts -11 fire protection districts - 3 park districts - 1 hospital district. „ Each "tax district" has certain designated Services to perform for the people within its area, and operates independently from all other tax districts. The- voters within a "tax district" elect individuals to 'serve as officers, (exception: Officers of Fire Protection and Hospital Districts are appointed by the County Court). , These officers conduct the business and provide the special services within the limitations as provided by Illinois Statutes. Annually they must certify to the County Clerk the number of dollars required to carry on their specific services for the coming fiscal year. This is knowti as the "tax levy." The total cost pf local government, as determined by the more than \ 500 elected or appointed officials of the 93 tax districts, is a direct result of the public demand for services and the sum of •dollars required to satisfy these de-< mands.
