Good question. We have a good friend from college who lives outside of Chicago. One evening we were comparing taxes. While some were lower - some were higher in Ill. I figured then it was about the same - only done differently. However it is done - it is a huge increase from their baseline. It will be interesting to watch the various states deal with their financial problems.

California has very low property taxes, due to the Jarvis law. Illinois has very high property taxes. As someone else mentioned to you, look at the total tax.
