Deuter Joins House Property Tax Working Group

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Reflecting her commitment to deliver meaningful tax reforms for homeowners, state Rep. Marti Deuter, D-Elmhurst, has been appointed to a newly-formed Property Tax Working Group in the Illinois House.

“We have to take a comprehensive look at our property tax system,” Deuter said. “There’s a lot of frustration with the current system, and it’s critical that we take responsible, meaningful steps forward to provide relief.”

Deuter brings years of local government experience to the role, and will share the perspective of numerous homeowners she has met going door to door. She believes the state should take a closer look at how it funds education, infrastructure and essential services, and the impact it has on local property tax decisions. With many families dealing with higher costs, Deuter sees property tax reform as a way to deliver real relief.

Recently created by House Speaker Emanuel “Chris” Welch, D-Hillside, the House Property Tax Working Group will be a diverse, 11-member assembly featuring representatives from across the state.

“It was important to me that our community have a seat at the table in these discussions, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to join this select group,” Deuter said. “There’s a lot of work ahead, and I’m looking forward to joining my colleagues and engaging in a focused and productive dialogue.”
