Friendly Reminder postcards were mailed this week to more than 1300 different property owners. Emphasis on the word FRIENDLY. If you received one, that means we don't have a record of one or both payments. These cards are sent as a courtesy because we know that sometimes bills can be forgotten or overlooked, or there may be any number of other circumstances that prevented on-time payment.

Again, FRIENDLY reminders, and intended to catch those who may have fallen through the cracks.

Please call the office at 815-235-8264 with questions or visit our Property Tax Inquiry portal at https://stephensonil.devnetwedge.com

Power of Planning is a free online program that helps people in Illinois make their Power of Attorney for Health Care and Power of Attorney for Property.

Users learn from experienced attorneys at the Center for Disability and Elder Law, hear real stories from people who planned ahead, and create their documents step by step in English or Spanish.

We built this with our partners at Center for Disability & Elder Law because planning for the future shouldn't depend on whether you can afford a lawyer.
