• Everyone should have received a letter from the Kane County Auditor's office titled, NOTICE OF PROPERTY VALUATION AND TAX CHANGES.
   
   In the past we have had to pay for more and more of the tax bill for Kane County with little or no increase in services from the County.  We are asking everyone who owns property to email the Kane County Commissioners and voice your opinion on this increase.  In addition to emailing the Commissioners, we need ALL property owners who can attend the meeting to let our voices be heard.
