What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Tax calculation errors caused underbilling for property owners in the Octavia Park District in Colfax, which is located in McLean County. The McLean County Treasurer’s Office notified over 1,100 taxpayers of the error, which resulted in an underbilling of $24,345 for the 2024 tax year. The error stemmed from a miscalculation of the tax rate applied to the district’s general obligation bond levy in 2025.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The underbilling required the county board to approve a no-interest loan for the district in October 2025 to prevent a debt default. The additional taxes resulting from the miscalculation will be added to tax bills in two installments due in 2027.
