• This represents a $64,210 increase from the 2024 tax levy.

The Mokena Village Board on Monday, October 27, 2025, publicly announced its proposed 2025 property tax levy, a required step before the final ordinance can be adopted. Village Administrator John Tomasoski stated that the village’s anticipated aggregate tax levy is $2,311,425.

This amount reflects an increase of approximately $64,210 over last year’s levy. Tomasoski explained that the calculation was based on direction from the Village Board to incorporate a 2.5% increase tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as well as accounting for new growth from recent development within the village.

While the board has historically aimed to keep the village’s property tax rate among the lowest in Will County, the annual levy determines the total amount of property tax revenue the village will collect to fund its operations.

The announcement fulfills a state statutory requirement that the intended levy amount be publicly stated and recorded in meeting minutes before a final vote. No action was taken by the board on Monday. The final 2025 tax levy ordinance will be presented to the board for formal adoption at its meeting on November 24, 2025.
